Package: apt
Version: 0.3.19
Severity: wishlist
When apt-get calculates its ETA when downloading something, if it is
downloading from multiple servers, it doesn't do it per server:
example:
downloading 1k from server 1 at 99999999k/sec
downloading 9999999k from server 2 at 1k/sec
instead of saying:
server 1 will be .000000000001 of a second
and server 2 will be 9999999 seconds
to make 999999999.00000000000001 seconds
it says:
it will be (combined download speed / total downloads) seconds
So, would it be possible to make apt-get calculate ETAs per-server, then add
them all up?

Yes, but that is probably best. Think about a modem where the bandwidth is
limited by the incoming pipe, so bandwidth per source is quite wrong, only
on broadband does it make any difference, and even then not much.
It is an estimate, accept that it always wrong for some of the time.
