On a related note, do you have any plans to put back the
"percentage downloaded" figure?  The 4-STABLE version of fetch(1)
does this, but my 5-CURRENT box (using libfetch) doesn't.

I have to stick:

FETCH_CMD=/usr/bin/fetch -A -v -v

in my /etc/make.conf to get any kind of feedback on how a
distfile download is progressing, which displays all kinds of
other verbose information (as would be expected).

Please?  Pretty please? :)
