If you mean wget then that will show you the speed for the file it is downloading. If u start another instance with another file the two should half the aggregate. Also from man wget when using --proigress= "When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the style by specifying the type as dot:style. Different styles assign different meaning to one dot. With the "default" style each dot represents 1K, there are ten dots in a cluster and 50 dots in a line. The "binary" style has a more ``computer''-like orientation---8K dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots per line (which makes for 384K lines). The "mega" style is suitable for downloading very large files---each dot represents 64K retrieved, there are eight dots in a cluster, and 48 dots on each line (so each line contains 3M)." Other gui downloaders i don't know. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
