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 — download speed (top left), upload speed (top right) and connections (bottom left): visual 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.
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. The curves are drawn anti-aliased, and the Current curve of every graph except Connections has a shaded fill underneath. The speed graphs are scaled in KiB/s. The colours can be changed in Preferences → Statistics.
Reading a Value
Hover the mouse over a graph to read its exact values: a vertical crosshair snaps to the nearest sample, a marker highlights each line at that point, and a box shows how far back the sample is (for example -2:30 mins) followed by the value of each line with its colour. Speeds are shown in the most readable unit, e.g. 2.13 MiB/s. The Kad nodes graph in the Networks window works the same way.
In amulegui the graphs show the history kept by the connected core, so they are already filled when the remote GUI connects and stay filled when you switch tabs.
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 | Lavender | 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.
Statistics

Transfer
The Transfer branch lists the session ratio first, then the Uploads and Downloads sub-trees.

The Found Sources item expands into a sub-tree counting sources by origin (each origin also shows its share of the total as a percentage):
