Exactly what would you like to be able to configure? The refresh frequency of the progress bar? Or of the ETA display? I don't see the need for that. The granularity of ETA is 1 second, so refreshes shorter than that don't make sense. Likewise, max. five refreshes per second for the whole bar is about as good a value as any. I've never heard anyone complain. IMHO there *is* such a thing as too much configurability. Wget already has a huge number of options, and I'd like it to just do the right thing whenever possible. I think the latest incarnation of the code comes close to that. I'm open to criticisms, though. But before you criticize, at least try it out.
