>From what I understand from your email, you're asking for consensus about the following aspects of download progress, please correct me if I'm wrong or if there are additional issues: * DL speed isn't reported for items of a known size (regression) - [yoav: is there a bug open for this?]
* Change format of download time estimate - http://crbug.com/4718 . There are a few suggestions in that bug and from what I understand you're asking if we want to use Firefox's format for the string? * If the network connection is cut while a download is in progress the time estimate gets messed up - http://crbug.com/12610 . In the bug you suggest: "calc the DL speed based on the last kSeconds (say 4?) who passed since the last sample" I hope other people will chime in on this thread but if not you might want to focus on one issue (4718 for example) and start a new thread asking specifically about that with a few options and asking people to pick the one we want to implement.
