Don't you hate when a software developer unilaterally decides to remove a feature that you have come to depend on? As if they know what is best for everybody.

Well, Apple has removed the speed measurement from Downloads. They have replaced it with an estimate of time. What arrogance!! What stupid, brain-dead, arrogance!!!

I guess it's nice to have the time estimate, but I also want to know how fast my connection is to the site from which I’m downloading. Especially since I have a new 3 mbit cable connection. It fun to see how fast it rips down files.

It is also helpful to see how much the connection slows as more simultaneous downloads are added.

They should have this time estimate as an option and something that can be displayed in addition to the speed measurement.

Does anyone know how to put this back? Someone program a hack, please!
