 +To include the Synchronet thread names in the ''htop'' output, make sure the "Show custom thread names" Setup option is enabled:
 +
 +<code>
 +Setup            Display options
 +Meters           [x] Tree view
 +Display options  [ ] Shadow other users' processes
 +Colors           [x] Hide kernel threads
 +Columns          [x] Hide userland threads
 +                 [ ] Display threads in a different color
 +                 [x] Show custom thread names
 +                 [ ] Highlight program "basename"
 +                 [x] Highlight large numbers in memory counters
 +                 [x] Leave a margin around header
 +                 [ ] Detailed CPU time (System/IO-Wait/Hard-IRQ/Soft-IRQ/Steal/Guest)
 +                 [ ] Count CPUs from 0 instead of 1
 +                 [x] Update process names on every refresh
 +</code>
 +===== Windows ===== 
 +
 +On Windows, you can monitor Synchronet's TCP/IP socket and thread utilization using the [[wp>Task Manager (Windows)]] and utilities like [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer|Process Explorer]], [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/pslist|pslist]] and [[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/tcpview|TCPView]].
 +
 +Windows comes with a version of ''netstat'' as well.
