[Bug 68373] No indication of speed when transferring with nautilus

[Alan McGinlay]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have previously worked for a UK ISP as tech support and one of the
main problems our users encountered was "slow dowload speed". The first
thing we would ask them to do is to download a file from some ftp server
and tell us what the speed was in kb/s.

In another example, I am currently having severe internet access
problems of my own (including poor speed :P) and my connection regularly
drops for 10 or so seconds. I am downloading a 600MB file from an ftp
server and i get a progress bar and ETA.. but no indication of speed.
The connection dropped and the ETA hovered around 5 hours 23 minutes..
it didn't just freeze, this led me to believe the connection had
recovered and the download re-started!

It was several moments before I realised and resorted to wget.

Could we _please_ get the speed reported in kb/s when downloading or
transferring files with nautilus again?

Regards,

Alan
