I seem to recall listening in on a conversation several months ago (maybe
on a FreeBSD list, regarding an ftp client?) wherein a continuously
updated display of total bytes transferred was causing a problem.
The gist of the discussion was that the display system couldn't keep up
with the screen updates -- the byte count was changing too fast. I think
the problem was traced to a buffer (in curses?)... I'm pretty sure that
the solution was to not to use total bytes transferred as the unit to
display.
Sorry, my memory on the issue is a bit hazy and I don't have time to
search archives, but I thought I'd toss up the concept for your
consideration. Please redirect to /dev/null if I'm just blowin' smoke. :)
