In this dialog, some tiny "progress bars" were added, showing the earlier implemented packet percentage values in a somewhat more graphical way. I find this much more helpful to get an idea of whats going on, compared to the percentage values alone. 


Are the percentages useful as numbers, or are the bars sufficient?
I'm unsure. I would tend to think, that the bars are sufficient, as the absolute packet numbers will still be displayed.
I'm in desperate need of a better name for the word "Portions" I have used. I was thinking of: "Histogram", "Percentage", "Ratio" As I'm not a "native english speaker", I need some advice for the best word to use here.
"Percentage of total", or "Fraction of total", perhaps, to make it clearer what they represent? 




"Fraction of total" sounds good to me!
