How about always displaying a projected time to finish (a la ncftp)
when downloading, and then store a weighted average of all the recent
download rates to use in estimations.
i.e. if you know that you've gotten an average of 2.3kb/s over the
past 5 MB of download, that's probably a pretty good indication of
what you're going to get during the next download.
