System.nanotime and Applet

Hello all,

I'm creating an applet to upload potentially big files to a HTTP server.

As uploading may take some time, I would like to show the user the speed and eta of the upload.

Here is my code :

while ((n = fi.read(buff)) > 0){

startTime = System.nanoTime();

this.output.write(buff, 0, n);

this.output.flush();

estimatedTime = System.nanoTime() - startTime;

curSpeed = ((double) n * 1000 / (double) estimatedTime) * 1000000;

[...]

}

An average of curSpeed is then calculated and shown to the user.

This code works perfectly well in the applet viewer, but when I run it in the browser, I get a totally wrong speed (I get approximatly 40MB/s instead of 100KB/s).

What could possibly cause this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
