Beautiful. I can easily see using this regularly on my Windows machines.

Some items: 1) It'd be nice to be able to scroll around directly on the graph using mouse gestures (middle-click drag?). 2) Graphing of bandwidth seems to be off somehow. If I do a speedtest.net, my ~104Mbps transfer shows up on the graph as 38 Mbps and the graph scale shows a max of 20 Mbps. http://imgur.com/QkZMVvj

I use Speedtest quite a bit and I think they estimate your speed via a system that doesn't require you actually hit their transfer rate. I could be wrong though... we'll look closer and see what's going on there. I agree dragging right/left on the graph would be cool. Thanks for the complements and feedback!

They definitely do real bandwidth measuring.

This is happening to me as well, Glasswire reported 10MBps steady (while the chart's max val was 20Mbps) while Speedtest.net is reporting 104Mbps.

The graph shows a discrepancy when downloading from other sources as well. Steam is reporting 4MB/s while GlassWire shows around ~3.3Mb/s (hard to really estimate).

Also, the Apps tab under Graphs says 250Mb for Steam. I have no idea what this value is supposed to reflect. Similarly, the Traffic tab shows a similar value (but slightly different value) for HTTP traffic which Steam is the only user of right now.

Be great if there could be the data rates / current speed on the graph > traffic view. That's one thing I am missing - takes too long to figure out which app is doing something.
