Statistics
The Statistics window shows detailed data about the current aMule session: speed graphs, transfer totals, connection metrics, client population, and server statistics.
The window is divided into two main areas:
- Graphs (top portion) — visual speed and connection history for the last few minutes.
- Statistics tree (bottom right) — a hierarchical breakdown of all numeric statistics.
Graphs
The three graphs each update in real time.
tip
Make sure you understand how to read the graphs: the X axis represents time (newest data on the right), and the Y axis is the measured value. The "average" lines smooth out short-term spikes.
Each graph has a legend below it with three labelled colour swatches identifying its lines.
Download Speed
The top-left graph shows download speed over recent minutes:
| Legend | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Current | Light green | Current download speed |
| Running average | Medium green | Average download speed over the last X minutes (configured in Preferences → Statistics → Time for average graph) |
| Session average | Dark green | Average download speed since aMule was started |
Upload Speed
The top-right graph shows upload speed:
| Legend | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Current | Light red | Current upload speed |
| Running average | Medium red | Average upload speed over the last X minutes |
| Session average | Dark red | Average upload speed since aMule was started |
Connections
The bottom-left graph shows the number of active connections:
| Legend | Colour | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Active downloads | Magenta | Connections actively downloading (clients uploading to you) |
| Active connections | Light blue | All active connections combined |
| Active uploads | Yellow | Connections actively uploading (you uploading to clients) |
The Active connections legend label includes a scale factor such as (1:3). This is the vertical (Y axis) scale of the graph, not a usage ratio: it indicates the axis has been scaled 3× because the peak number of connections exceeded the configured graph scale (Preferences → Statistics → Connections Graph Scale, default 100). The label stays at (1:1) until the peak rises above that scale.
Statistics Tree
The bottom-right panel contains a hierarchical tree of detailed statistics.
Items whose value is not yet known may be hidden until a valid value is available.
