I'm logged in but I can't see the "New thread" button - either I'm blind or it's missing.

Can anyone help please?
Must be blind mate. If you go into the forum category (Broadband support & discussion), it is wedged right between the menu at the top (User UP, FAQ, etc), and just above the bit where it says: "Threads in forum" and lists the threads.

Meh, it seems to be accurate enough for me. Sometimes it says it is downloading at 126k/s, where mIRC says my download is going at say, 115k/s. I just put it down to mIRC averaging out the speed, as DUMeter reports the actual speed quicker. (If you disconnect during a download on mIRC, it will gradually slow to 0, rather than just go straight to it). I find it not too shabby. It's small, simple and clear. I treat 900m as the cap though because I don't about overheads and such, so I try and play safe.

That program someone posted about the other day, http://www.trafficstatistic.com/ looks awsome though, for detailed stats.
