I am looking at the Upload column within the Processes section of the Plasma System Monitor.
Can anyone else confirm?
EDIT: I realize now that the Upload Rate within the Network graph in my History section does not match up with that steam process. Not even close. Overall system upload rate hits like 25 KB/s peak. Confirmed with bashtop that the smaller upload rate is the real one. I gotta find out what that Upload column is showing. The range feels like disk I/O. I wonder if it's a bug. I reset the view back to "factory" and the numbers in that column still don't make sense.
EDIT 2: According to this source code search, I'm lead to believe that only the Overview and History pages are the ones actually displaying network upload. I'll stop editing every play by play....

As for getting your actual upload figures, you can't go wrong with atop, I use it all the time since it gives a nice simple breakdown and is available on pretty much any distro:

After 10 seconds of showing current stats, it'll show current activity (it updates every ten seconds).

More info about that here for the curious:
