Wget new percentage function

WHAT IS THIS?

This is alternative implementation of print_percentage() function in Wget. This is only for 'dot-style' progress:

wget --progress=dot ...

The output is can be found in 'sample-output.txt' file in this package or at the end of this document. After the dot lines there are 3 figures: current percentage, speed and estimated finish time in minutes (MM:SS).

( GNU Wget is a free network utility to retrieve files from the World Wide Web using HTTP and FTP, the two most widely used Internet protocols. It works non-interactively, thus enabling work in the background, after having logged off. Designed and implemented by Hrvoje Niksic )

BUGS?

none known (so far)

LICENSE?

You can assume this falls under the GPL license as wget is. For the full GPL text read COPYING file.
