We've got time to completion, but not really any download speed. I'm not<br>
sure it's useful.<br>

Time is tricky. Estimating time is even harder. If you look at the<br>
PkTime code you'll see that there is lots of code to do the estimation,<br>
but nothing works well.<br>

I was talking to my friend (he's also developer) and we think progress,
estimated time and total size of package are very important
informations. He was invited to take a look at the code and help with
an idea. Unfortunately (in this case), my help is only translations.<br>
<br>
See you,<br>

The following can be useful and can be done easy:<br>
(4/10) packages downloaded can be useful<br>
(2 / 50 MB) downloaded can<br>
Current download speed 456 KiB/s<br>
<br>
but it easily get to cluttered in the progress dialog, if you show to
much information.<br>
<br>
But the ETA for the hole transaction is very hard to do, you can do it
on then downloading, but for the installation, you don't have any time
measures<br>
of how long it will take.<br>
