  The progress meter exists to show a user that something actually is
  happening. The different fields in the output have the following meaning:

  %   Received    Total    Speed  Estimated   Time      Left   Curr.Speed
  0      97980  149081186  15211   2:43:21   0:00:06   2:43:15  14843  
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed          Time             Curr.
                                 Dload  Upload Total    Current  Left    Speed

  From left-to-right:
   "%" - column, is the percentage of the file currently transfered.
   "Received" - means the total number of bytes that has been transfered.
   "Total" -  is the total number of bytes expected to transfer.
   "Speed" - is average speed in bytes/second for the whole transfer so far.
   "Estimated" - is the estimated total transfer time.
   "Time" - is the time spent so far for this transfer
   "Left" - is the estimated time left for this transfer to finnish if the
    current average speed will remain steady.
   "Curr.Speed" - is the average transfer speed the last 5 seconds (the first
   %             - percentage completed of the whole transfer
   Total         - total size of the whole expected transfer
   %             - percentage completed of the download
   Received      - currently downloaded amount of bytes
   %             - percentage completed of the upload
   Xferd         - currently uploaded amount of bytes
   Average Speed
   Dload         - the average transfer speed of the download
   Average Speed
   Upload        - the average transfer speed of the upload
   Time Total    - expected time to complete the operation
   Time Current  - time passed since the invoke
   Time Left     - expected time left to completetion
   Curr.Speed    - the average transfer speed the last 5 seconds (the first
                   5 seconds of a transfer is based on less time of course.)

  NOTE: Much of the output is based on the fact that the size of the transfer
  is known before it takes place. If it isn't, a much less fancy display will
  be used.
  The -# option will display a totally different progress bar that doesn't
  need much explanation!
