From left-to-right:
- "%" - column, is the percentage of the file currently transfered.
- "Received" - means the total number of bytes that has been transfered.
- "Total" - is the total number of bytes expected to transfer.
- "Speed" - is average speed in bytes/second for the whole transfer so far.
- "Estimated" - is the estimated total transfer time.
- "Time" - is the time spent so far for this transfer
- "Left" - is the estimated time left for this transfer to finnish if the
- current average speed will remain steady.
- "Curr.Speed" - is the average transfer speed the last 5 seconds (the first
- 5 seconds of a transfer is based on less time of course.)
-
- NOTE: Much of the output is based on the fact that the size of the transfer
- is known before it takes place. If it isn't, a much less fancy display will
- be used.
+ % - percentage completed of the whole transfer
+ Total - total size of the whole expected transfer
+ % - percentage completed of the download
+ Received - currently downloaded amount of bytes
+ % - percentage completed of the upload
+ Xferd - currently uploaded amount of bytes
+ Average Speed
+ Dload - the average transfer speed of the download
+ Average Speed
+ Upload - the average transfer speed of the upload
+ Time Total - expected time to complete the operation
+ Time Current - time passed since the invoke
+ Time Left - expected time left to completetion
+ Curr.Speed - the average transfer speed the last 5 seconds (the first
+ 5 seconds of a transfer is based on less time of course.)
+
+ The -# option will display a totally different progress bar that doesn't
+ need much explanation!
