Neither of those is available when the message is logged, the message is logged _before_ the item is being fetched, and multiple items may be in progress at the same time, you can't go back and edit the previous line.

So you could display double the amount of entries, but that seems very distracting. I think you could have

Con:<number> Connected to foo (...)

where <number> is the first package for which we need to (re-, in case of host closing connection)connect to a host.

Speed measurements I'm not sure. We only record total speed now. It might make sense to record per-host speed. Then you could display a message per host every $N seconds (N=30?) showing the current speed [well, total average, really].

Note that we just had an ABI/API break, and not intend to break it again for the next 2-4 years, which might prevent this from happening, or at least make it harder.
