I thought something like this (similar to that what ncftp does):

Receiving ls-lR.gz (8096/8548027 bytes 3.8K/sec 0h7m32s ET)
Receiving ls-lR.gz (12345/8548027 bytes 3.3K/sec 0h7m30s ET)

and so on. You see, if you have good connection, if it's worth
to continue downloading a large file (XFree86, xemacs, tetex, ...)
