      There must be something wrong with the In/out packets count/calculation:

      I have this on Status->Interfaces 2577978/4931582 (170.72 MB/2.77 GB) but have more than 5 GB downloaded (a linux iso). So there is something wrong with the calculation…

          Ok, thanks. Didn't now that. So it's no error at all, it' a rollover (cut).

            Yes, it's a built in freebsd counter. We can't change it.

              thats too bad.. how hard would it be to dump the counter value to a text file/system variable/etc and keep adding it up every time it rolls over, so you get a true byte transfer counter from bootup

                    Let me rephrase: somebody has to be interested in doing it.
