Mockup of the suggested change (12.16 KB, image/png)
2006-01-28 20:07 UTC, Evandro Giovanini 		Details

Description Evandro Giovanini 2006-01-26 01:14:35 UTC 
Currently the Download Manager has three columns, %, File and Remaining. 
The File column displays the file name and some status information (bytes downloaded), and the Remaining column displays the time left to finish the download. 

My suggestion is to move the info on Remaining to the File column, resulting in something like this:

|%---|File ---------------------------|
| 0% | gnome-livecd-2.12-i386.iso     |
|    | 1MB of 650MB           5:00:01 |
|----|--------------------------------|

Also, I think it would be a good idea to display the status information (bytes downloaded and time left) using a smaller font size. IMO it would make the dialog less cluttered.

Mockup of the suggested change

I made a quick mockup with the GIMP. Two little things about it:

1) I forgot that I was using the pt_BR locale, but the suggestion doesn't change any string (except removing one) so that's not a problem. Sorry about that, but you'll find your way. :)

2) I didn't reduce the text size by 1 pixel, doing that on the Gimp would be just painful to my skills. To make it clear, what I suggest reducing is the text that says "880,0 KB of 75,2MB  1:26:46" on the screenshot.

The general problem is that we need a reliable / somewhat accurate method to estimate the remaining time....

I'm marking this as duplicate of #337936 because there are patches that do this exact thing there, also the original comment in that bug is the same as here.
