Can any body help me with getting the data transfer rate. i.e. what is the data rate that is downloading and what is the rate in the upload. For example the way we see in Kazaa or Shareaza etc....

Please help..This wld solve my last problem in the project.

You would just calculate the following...

DataMovedinKB / ElapsedTimeInSeconds

If you're asking about how to find how much has been moved so far, or the elapsed time of the download... That's something different and is language specific. I have a feeling that's what you meant, am I right?

@sevehalo he just wants to display the download speed on the client, and upload speed on the server.

@krishna you need to use a timer, and you need to log the amount of data which is sent so you can compare with the timer and calculate the transfer rate

That would affirm my feeling. I was waiting for a language before I started tossing out samples or trying to explain what would need to be done.
