I am currently downloading Fallout 3 on Steam on my comp, and I was hoping someone could tell me what these numbers mean:
Network usage:
2.6mb/s Current
2.7 mb/s Peak
5.0 GB Total
3.9 mb/s usage
I'm guessing the 2.6 is the download speed, and the peak is the max speed possible. I have no clue of the total and usage. Can someone please explain to this non techie?

In order:
Current download speed
Highest speed this session
total amount of data downloaded/uploaded/transferred
IDK, I've never seen that one before.

*Not a steam user*
not sure on usage. My only guess would be the amount of bandwidth Steam is using in total (might be downloading other things in the background)
Current as you figured is current speed, peak logic dictates to me is the highest speed seen so far
5.0 GB total most likely is amount downloaded so far, but could also be total to download. If the number is rising it's amount downloaded so far.

Current is current download rate.
Peak is highest download rate in the current session (resets when you exit Steam).
Total is how much you've downloaded this session (resets when you exit Steam).
[disk] usage (must be in Steam beta program) is hard drive write speed (for the current download).
