Swap the upload and download position
Choose whether download or upload appears first in the NetSpeedDisplay readout, so the number you care about is where you expect it.
NetSpeedDisplay shows upload and download next to each other. Some people watch download most of the time, others watch upload. Swap the position of upload and download puts them in the order you prefer.
How to use it
Right-click the display and choose Swap the position of upload and download. Choose it again to switch back.

Upload means data leaving your PC. Download means data arriving. Colors can help you tell them apart: you can change the text colors in Appearance. See font and color customization.
Pair with other layout options

- Speed unit to match your plan or your download manager.
