I have plan to disable Bandwidth Monitoring - Status_Bandwidth.asp module. In my opinion this feature waste sources of device. It's possible to disable it ? I know it's inpossible via GUI, but may be is other method ? I have idea to enhance functions in GUI and add that option. It will be very useful.

Disabling the underlying functions which make this feature work will break other things. _________________ "The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

You can remove it, though Im not sure what you call resource wasting.
Bandwidth.asp is powered by a dynamic svg which is driven by JavaScript. The Asp page is 2.5KB large and the svg itself icluding the JS is 10.8KB large
So you would save absolutely 13.3KB uncompressed if you downloaded to your desktop, in dd-wrt is optimized and if you consider how efficient DD-WRT's compression algorithm is and that these asp and svg are both text and compresses really really really well, by the time you have wasted hours to save less than 13.3KB, actually less than half that, you would gain nothing for flash space or any resources like free ram or cpu resources, since if you do not visit the page, it may as well not exist.
But please, go ahead, you are free to crack open the firmware and remove the asp page, the svg and the menu entry Im sure there is some wiki entry who tells you how to modify the firmware image.
The only side effect of removing it, is when you click on an interface, you would get nothing, since it is used only outside the page as a single entry to monitor the link, nothing else.
Sorry If I dont paste the link, but today I took a break from being a search engine replacement
Not long ago we booted milkfish from the FW, it was more than half a dozen files far bigger than 6 bandwidth.asp and svgs together, after compiling the size of the firmware was the same exactly due to the efficiency of the compression algorithm.

Ok, I'm only wrote one simple question. If not possible to easy disable this function it's not big problem for me. I did not attack any person and I don't now how long is files of that feature. If it's not easy for providers I leave it alone.

An option to disable is possible, but adding options for one person only is counter productive.
But now you know this is not actually going to save you any resources on your device, given the total size of the feature, and disabling will be the same as leaving it enabled resources wise, assuming you dont use the feature.

I dont think anyone has thought you attacked anyone or that anyone has attacked you, I think however there is a small communication barrier and this barrier however small it is large enough to have misunderstandings, everything is fine from my end.
I tried explaining and showing you the actual size of this feature and that disabling it via option will not save you any resources.
Even removing it altogether you will not gain anything noticeable.
If you have any doubts about my explanation due to any language barrier possibilities, let me know and Ill try to make my language simpler, but, you can always put this long replies into google translate if it helps you.
