Mmmm, no.  I've often wondered, but never stirred myself to investigate.
It's interesting though that "hop check" for instance, which also
displays parts of lines during the traceroute, gets it right.

Not greatly.  Hashes are traditional, but I don't have a great
attachment to them.  Even better would be a "xxx/yyy" display showing
progress against the total size, where that is known.
