Display stream estimated bandwidth usage

[Silentghost14]

I think it would be useful to add some kind of estimated bandwidth usage counter similar to the counter for the total time your steam has been live. I am tied down by my ISP and have a set total amount of bandwidth i can use each month. Adding this feature would be very useful to those of us who have to deal with bandwidth limits but still enjoy live steaming to help us gauge our usage per stream. Keep up the great work dev team!

At the very least, you can estimate your bandwidth usage by multiplying your bit rate by the amount of time you stream for.

Well if that's true adding a bandwidth usage counter next to the stream time counter cant be too difficult. Your math method is correct but its not about whats correct its about whats a convenience to the user.

I didn't say it wouldn't be added, just giving you a suggestion for how to get by until then. But you must realize that such a thing is a pretty low priority right now.

I am aware that it going to be a low priority just trying to give some useful feedback is all.
