I am thoroughly enjoying the new filtering feature , but I
have a 
couple of questions:
The 'rate' column stops updating when I add a filter like
say "port 80". 
If I am watching
a download and then decide to filter that connection only,
the rate 
column freezes at the
value it was at when I applied the filter. Any way to fix
this ?

And a minor annoyance:
It seems that when I want to remove a filter I can only
delete it using 
the delete key as
opposed to the backspace key. This is counter intuitive but
it works for 
me with my PC
keyboard. My colleagues Macbook doesn't have a delete key so
you have to 
exit pftop
and start it again to remove the filter.

I also have a third question, not specific to 0.7 though,
but I'll sneak 
it in anyway:
Long running sessions seem to give wrong Rate calculations
quite 
consistently, for
example at the moment i have an udp state which is an
openvpn tunnel. 
pftop says the age
is 218 hours and it has transferred close to 40 gigabytes.
The rate 
currently says "36864M"
which is obviously wrong  It isn't
stable there, sometimes is goes 
down to ~7000M and
stays there for a bit. Anyway, this tunnel is over an ADSL
so I wish..
I also noticed this with 0.6, so as I said, this isn't
specific to pftop 
0.7.

I don't have access to an OpenBSD machine so I can't check
if these 
problems are FreeBSD
specific.

Thanks!

Thomas

I don't know, but it seems to be a problem with OpenBSD as
well.  Please 
report with the original author.

Works for me.  I suspect this is a problem with your console
/ terminal 
settings.

I don't have such a long lived connection around to verify,
but again this 
seems like a cross platform problem and you should contact
the original 
author.
