I would like to be able to see when users are downloading content from my server. My suggestion would be to put this in the Now Playing section alongside streaming content.

Currently, when a user is downloading, you may see nothing under “Now Playing” but then see high levels of remote bandwidth. This just leads you to the question of what is going on.

Additionally, there’s very little in the logs to indicate that syncing is responsible for the remote bandwidth. There should be more notes in the logs showing syncing content.

Sync is a great feature that I want all my users to have access to. But I need to be able to monitor who is accessing my server, from where, and what resources they are consuming.

I think this is a big gap, and agree completely. I’d like to see this for both Syncing and direct downloading of content.

Perhaps it’s worth bumping this one? Would be really nice to see that in the same place I see people currently playing, instead of two separate places.
