SeeleSeek records transfer history, connection statistics, and search activity throughout each session. Three panels give you visibility into what the app is doing: the Statistics panel, the Network Monitor, and the Activity Log.

Statistics panel (⌘7)

The Statistics panel is divided into several sections.

Transfer history

SeeleSeek accumulates byte counts across all sessions:
  • Total downloaded — cumulative bytes received since the app was first installed
  • Total uploaded — cumulative bytes sent since the app was first installed
  • Session downloaded / uploaded — bytes transferred since the current connection was established
The panel also keeps a scrollable history of the last 100 completed downloads and 100 completed uploads, each showing the filename, the peer username, file size, duration, and average speed.

Network statistics

StatDescription
Peers connectedNumber of peer connections currently open
Peers ever connectedTotal unique peers connected in this session
Connection attemptsTotal direct + indirect connection attempts this session
Connection success ratePercentage of attempts that succeeded
Current download speedSpeed from the most recent sample
Current upload speedSpeed from the most recent sample
Average download speedSession bytes ÷ session duration
Average upload speedSession bytes ÷ session duration
Speed samples are taken once per second and the chart retains the last 120 samples (two minutes of history).

Search statistics

StatDescription
Searches performedTotal outgoing search queries this session
Total results receivedSum of all result counts across all searches
Average response timeRolling average time from query sent to first results

Network Monitor (⌘8)

The Network Monitor shows a live chart of download and upload speeds updated every second, alongside a list of active peer connections. Use it to identify slow peers or check whether a stalled transfer is still making progress.

Activity Log

The Activity Log is an event stream that records everything SeeleSeek does. It holds up to 500 events; older events are discarded automatically.

Tracked events

Event typeWhen it fires
Peer connectedA direct or indirect peer connection is established
Peer disconnectedA peer connection closes
Search startedYou submit a search query
Search resultResults arrive from a peer
Download startedA file download begins
Download completedA file download finishes successfully
Upload startedA peer begins downloading a file from you
Upload completedAn upload finishes successfully
Chat messageA room or private message is received
InfoGeneral informational events (login, disconnect, NAT mapping)
ErrorError conditions (login failures, NAT mapping failures, kicked)

Search activity

The search activity tracker maintains two separate lists:
  • Outgoing searches — your own queries, updated with a result count once responses arrive (up to 100 recent events)
  • Incoming searches — distributed search requests from other peers that matched files in your shared folders (up to 50 recent entries)
Both lists are visible in the Statistics panel alongside the Network Monitor.
