i beleive that is jsut the red and green arrows point up and down. the one pointing up is showing that its sending data to the servers and the one pointing down means your getting data
u can only se ethem if u havea big TV really

so it doesnt matter at all what they are lol

Yes, pikachief is right. They are symbols showing the data being sent and received between you and the server. I forget which one is which though.

up means your sending/uploading data, down means your reciveing downloading data.
there can be times when your killing a horde of mobs and neither will be in that box in the corner. and there are times when you are sitting in your room doing nothing for and hour and the arrows are flashing like the data is moving like a raging rapids.

a note if you see the upload arrow flashing but no download arrow and your lagging, not dealing the mobs damage and they are running around like mad attacking you like crazy then your probably going to crash.

Wrong. It increases the chance of an enemy dropping anything. It has absolutely no effect on what they actually drop.
