It is an Free Software project. Please see: http://www.gnu.org for more information. Open Source is a different movement. :) > Sometimes when I am copying movies over ethernet (especially 10Mbps) I > dont know if the server is down or crashed, I dont like to stare at a > blank screen, and I do like to keep an idea of what speeds we are > getting on the lan. Actually, this is something that I would like to see because of an entirely different reason (it is on my to-do list :). On GNU/Hurd you have cute translators like ftpfs for example, and it would be _very_ useful to be able to see some statistical output about the download. The same would go for other translators like say tarfs which have not been implemented yet. Even when copying big files from one drive to another it would be nice to see this. > I have patched it against the fileutils 4.1 source, and uses the -o flag > to turn it on. It is available here: I would have extended the --verbose option instead of adding a new one, as I don't think that this deserves its own option. Something like this: $ cp -v file file2 `file' -> `file2' 50% [512/1024] ^^^ ^^^^ Amount to be copied. Amount copied. Note: I haven't looked at the patch. Cheers, -- Alfred M.
