when you make "x per time", you have a speed. so "%failures/%success/totals per 10 
minutes" is a speed, too?

maybe i was just one step too fast. sorry. as i wrote, giving the %chance of a 
successful download would be okay (although the user will then stop the transfer if 
it gets too low, which merely is the same as when doing this automatically, leading to 
the same issues)
