When doing an "apt-get update", the estimator is pretty wildly off
because it only takes the file that's currently being downloaded
into account. This looks like this:
Hit ftp://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Sources
Get:6 ftp://non-us.debian.org unstable/non-US/non-free Release [95B]
Get:7 ftp://ftp.debian.org unstable/main Packages [2244kB]
99% [7 Packages 2235814/2244kB 99%] 6460B/s 1s
... with the sources lists still in need for a download.

This is because apt doesn't know the size of subsequent files still to come,
as it has not yet gotten a response from the server.
Apt sends multiple requests at once(pipelining), but the responses must come
in the same order. So, what you want can't be done.
