Create variables in DriverInteractive.ml for the info you want:

let saved_upload_rate = ref 0    (* ref means that you want to be able
                                    to change the variable value *)
...

In update_gui_info, which is called every second, store the results
you  want in your variables:

before "let msg = (Client_stats {...", you can put:

saved_upload_rate := control_upload_rate; (* := changes a 'ref' type variable 
value *)

In your "bw_stats", just use the "saved_..." variables that are
updated every second...

BTW, your n2 patch has been applied, and will be commited soon.

Thanks a lot for your contributions,
