I'm not sure, but there appears to be a problem whenever you resume a partially
transferred file. Note the large negative number for the rate. This appears
to be a bug to me.

For what it's worth, I vote in favor of adopting Vladi's format. The ETA is
very useful. Perhaps even more useful than the download rate. I also think
that it looks nicer than the 1.7 version.

As for confusing users with too many numbers, I think the easy solution is to
simply add a header line right above the numbers, like so:

                                                                   ETA   Rate
   0K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 21%   0:00 7.31M
  50K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 43%   0:00 8.53M
