188532 - download time/speed go away when download finishes

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Download & File Handling, enhancement)

Description

[Mac]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20021230
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20021230

Immediately after a download completes, the speed (KB/s), time elapsed, 
etc. go away. It would be really nice to keep them around, so you know
how long your download took, what speed it achieved, etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download a file using download manager
2. Let it finish
Actual Results:  
The speed, time, etc. are no longer shown in the download manager window.

Expected Results:  
The speed, time, etc. of the download should still be listed in the
download manager window.

Confirmed: 'Speed' and 'Time Elapsed' are forgotten upon transfer completion :-(

'OS' could be set to 'All' !?

(This bug has "allways" existed !?)

Heya Folks,

I've been annoyed with this for some time now, and decided to check whether i
wasn't alone in that ...

I think leaving the values will actually make the Download Manager helpfull, in
it's current form i only find it annoying.

Mazzel,

Martijn.

Bug still there. (with v1.3 profile, at least)

Any hope to have Target Milestone set to 'mozilla1.4beta' or 'mozilla1.4' ?

I did a search for this bug, and not finding it, opened that last one.  I guess
I didn't try enough search term permutations.  Sorry about that.

I realize this is just a minor enhancement, but is it really something that
couldn't have been done in over 1.5 years?  I didn't see any comments arguing
for working the way Download Manager currently does.

If you have a download complete while you're away, this historical record is
interesting to have and can assist in reporting slow Internet connections to
your ISP.

Given that this [simple to resolve] bug/omission has been around for several years with repetitive requests for resolution could someone please address the issue.

Mozilla do a lot of good work but if no one addresses annoying issues it tends to indicate that Open Source does not work so well when it comes to support.

Thanks

Oh, where's your patch, then?
And, btw, whining doesn't exactly help, especially when you're just copying the same comment into different bugs, because you're even too lazy.

Speed means the current download speed, which is none if the download is finished. Time Elapsed is retained now with the new download manager of SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 1 and later.

Comment 14

[Mac]

It seems to make sense that during the download it means "current download speed", but after the transfer is over, would it be that hard to leave "average download speed" in that slot, rather than wasted empty space?

Comment 15

[Robert Kaiser]

I think it would actually be confusing if both current download speeds and average speeds are mixed in a single column.

Comment 16

[Roger Lynn]

The bug is still there in Seamonkey 2.17. I have long lists of file sizes and transfer times, yet the speed column is inexplicably empty. To stop showing the speed the moment a download finishes is just bizarre.
