    Hello,

    It seems that the byte counters (derived from netstat -nbi) reset at
    around 4 GB. Is there no way around this? It would be nice to be able to
    see an accurate display of totals. It just seems pointless to even have
    this, as 4 GB is just not that much anymore. I know this is a 32bit
    limitation of the variable, but that's just bad coding in my opinion (no
    offence intended), I mean there must be some way around this.

    Thank You.
