Network meter stats don't add up

For today, I’m looking at my Network Meter stats, and they don’t seem to add up:

All Applications: 1.05 MiB

Opera Mobile: 1.48 MiB
Avast: 0.11 MiB
Trillian: .09 MiB
Email: .04 MiB
5 Apps: 0.02

This adds up to at least 1.74 MiB. btw is MiB the same as MB (megabytes)?

Thanks

we have heard of that issue a very few times (3 users out of >10mio.) up to now. unfortunately we still are not able to reproduce that issue :frowning:

The figures are not off all the time. Most days it is fine, but I have seen several days where the math doesn’t add up.

Hi,

MiB is the same as MB in a pure technical sense. It means 1024^2, or 2^20 bytes. The problem is that HDD manufacturers and OS/software developers etc. changed the meaning of MB to 1000^2 bytes, or even 1000x1024 bytes, so today no-one can really know, what it means. It’s always something different. That’s why IEC came up with a standard of MiB (mebibyte), that always means 1024^2 bytes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mebibyte). We’re using it so there could be no confusion or speculation about the numbers we are showing.

I wonder if it has something to do with the way it counts Avast data usage:

Today’s stats for 3g:

All Apps: .06

Avast MS: .11

everything else at 0.

In my previous post above when the status were off, it also showed Avast MS: .11

I’m not exactly sure where this avast usage is coming from. I have it checking for updates only on Wi-Fi, disconnected from my avast account, and unchecked the reporting option.
