Hi, I have been using the Network Manager applet for a while now, but I feel that it is missing some critical features. Firstly it has no way of recording usage and secondly it has no way of distributing bandwidth. The first one is similar to the functionality provided by the vnstat tool I use currently, but it would be good it either integrate similar functionality in to the Network Manager or make it a integrated gui for vnstat. The second idea I imagine is a little bit harder, but I hope you can see where I am going with it. Applications could be given percentage shares of the current network bandwidth, and/or minimum allowances. This would allow users to download at the same time as surfing as the download could be configured to just use the spare bandwidth. Thanks, Chris
