talking about over-engineering again....:)

thats how i do it...try the command bw_stats....it gives you just what
you want!

Down: 61.9 KB/s ( 103 + 63298 ) | Up: 2.2 KB/s ( 24 + 2180 ) | Shared: 25/25

or check out the file onlinesig.dat in mldonkeys home-dir:

1|LovePoint.biz|62.241.35.16|4242
32.0|21.4|0

it shows your connected master-server,its ip and port and down+upstream
but this file is only updated when mldonkey saves its config-files
(see save_options_delay)

ps: instead of a perl-script you can use the mldonkey_command script
in distrib-subdir of cvs - it uses netcat - simple and fast!
