Display current and overall speed of package downloads

[vjr]

Just like what APT shows, it would be very nice to see the transfer speeds during package downloads and also the overall speed of the total package download.

Yes, a workaround would be to just run a system monitor tool but those typically just show the overall system transfer speeds and not just for the package downloads.

Oh my bad, I just noticed there is a "download results" tabular output of average download speed of each file but I'll look into whether I can add an overall summary for total downloaded size versus overall average speed.

Scratch that... this will probably require some shell scripting expertise (which I dont have) to grab the overall download size and overall average time taken to calculate and print the overall average download speed.

apt-fast uses aria2 for parallel downloads. If it is possible to make the desired behavior available with aria2 then it can be configured for apt-fast via the config file.
