Comment 7 for bug 152412

If I have my system monitor open as I begin a download, it immediately registers a change in my bandwidth usage when the download begins. Surely the display could use the same information that the system monitor can use and display a download speed rating.

I understand that it would be nice to wait for a few seconds before displaying an ETA, since those tend to fluctuate at first. However, I don't see the reason not to indicate immediately that the files are indeed downloading using whatever information is immediately available.
