Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GUI-6
Summary: An upload/download speed tracker within GUI or tray icon
Type: New Feature

Status: Open
Priority: Minor

Project: gui
Versions:
4.8.0

Assignee: Sam Berlin
Reporter: Robert Wiblin

Description:
I often like to keep track of how fast my downloads and uploads are going. Call it curiosity. In emule when you roll your mouse over the tray icon it says:
Up: 5kb Down: 7kb
so you don't have to bring up the window to see.
In Limewire all it says is: Limewire, running the Gnutella Network
What useless information!
Emule also shows running speeds on the status bar at the bottom of the program, which is very useful so that you don't have to skip back between the windows and do some arithmatic.
Could emule add a feature like this?
Even better, the lime could get darker and darker the faster your downloads are going, or it could have little green dots pile up like Emule Plus has. It's cute and practical!

Body:
Not only it should show the Download/Upload ratios, but if you right click on the Limewire, you should have quick access Gauge controls to quickly adjust bandwidth from there, without needing to open Tools, Options, etc.

This I found very useful with eMule Plus.

------------------------------------
|
| Upload ---|------ 10 kb/s
| Download --------|- 9999kb/s
| ( ) Set both to maximum
| ( ) Set both to minimum
____________________________________

You can have several other radio buttons,
in case you let user create what I would call
"Bandwidth Profiles"

( ) I'll be away for a while, Share baby!!
( ) I'm back, Keep it low
( ) I'm here but not browsing much


All this could be available to you, on a Right Click
on the IconTray Lime (XP,Linux with KDE or Gnome), and in the case of us Linux users with not so fancy Window Managers,
that section on the left bottom of the Window, where you put
the green bars, it'd be perfect to show Upload/Download Rates,
and if clicked, show a little dialog like depicted above.
