What I'd actually like to do is fold the argument into the limit-rate option, like so... --limit-rate 20K means limit rate to 20KBps --limit-rate 20% means limit average rate to 20% of initial measured bandwidth I wonder if it would make sense to cache the measured rate so that the second time you limit by percentage it skips the measurement step and thus the temporary domination. I guess then I'd also want to provide a --measure-rate option to force re-measurement when network changes. Are there any reasons not to cache like that? Does wget currently save any state someplace or would I need to implement that whole bit? Tony
