From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; 0.8.1)
BuildID:    2001040904

The user should know what's going on - when the page looks weird and then stays
like that, it'd be nice if the user was told that the connection is stalled. I
suggest "Transferring data from www.com at 5.1 k/s" or "Transferring data from
www.com (stalled)" if it's at 0kb/s.
Summary: "Transferring data from..." should be a bit more detailed → Loading status should show connection speed

Yes indeed -- Navigator's loading status text is far from ideal at the moment. 
And transfer rate will (probably) be part of this when I do a spec it later.

Unfortunately, any significant improvement probably requires a fair bit of help 
from netlib people. But if anyone is interested, let me know, and I'll push it 
to the top of my queue of specs-to-write.
