Would you be willing to open an issue in the github repo?
I am not aware of this bug and would be very happy to address it.
I would especially be interested if this happens to be the same bug as: https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich/issues/51
Thanks!
In What: A terminal tool to check what is taking up your bandwidth1. Done. It's now known as "bandwhich"
2. This is in progress: https://github.com/imsnif/bandwhich/issues/9
In What: A terminal tool to check what is taking up your bandwidthThanks for the tool. Easier install methods would be great. For now I've added the following to my bootstrap makefile:
wget -qO- https://github.com/imsnif/what/releases/download/${WHAT_VERSION}/what-v${WHAT_VERS… | tar xvz -C ~/bin/
