=====
I'm pretty sure this is a (typo?) bug. I couldn't find it in the "all
open bugs" list at "http://wget.addictivecode.org/BugTracker";. Unless I
did something really stupid when configuring (a possibility :-)), the
code that computes the download rate for http downloads is incorrect.
Without the patch below, I saw download rates of up to multi-hundreds
of terabytes and a total download rate of petabytes. It would be really
nice if I could actually get that kind of speed (;-})

Note that "elapsed" is included in the conditional above that allows
`ptimer_new()' to be called.
