Or even a %age. Or even (mem permitting) a 'time remaining'
countdown. Most of the stuff I download (and I assume most
people) is already compressed and appears to arrive at a
reasonably constant rate, and it would be nice to know for
how long one could absent oneself. (Being ignorant of FTP
and HTTP I'm making the assumption that the filesize is
known at the start of the transfer - if not, ignore the
above:( ).
