Suggestion: show torrent ETC consistent with file list priority rather than torrent size

[c3td]

It looks ETC on the main rTorrent screen is calculated based on some combination of file(s) size and current download speed.

I think it'd be more useful to present ETC of content to be downloaded versus download speed instead.

As an example, I've attached snips of a TV series download for which I was only DLing the first two episodes (turning off priority for all others in the 'File list' view'). One of the episodes downloaded in ~3 minutes, yet the ETC display showed a 37 minute completion time. The second completed in ~3 minutes, rather than the original 37 minutes displayed. It defeats the purpose of having an ETC if calculated this way for situations like these.

Check out rtorrent-ps or rtorrent-ps-ch to able to get insane amount of info onto the screen. :)

Looks cool, probably a bit of a 'bazooka to kill a fly' for my needs though :)

I'd recommend submitting a pull request against #575 if the fix is understood,

[chros73]

It's fixed in it and so in rtorrent-ps-ch :)
See "III. UI changes in rtorrent" section of this linked issue #144 (comment): "remaining time should display the correct amount all the time"

@kannibalox, any comment on this suggestion's feasibility for inclusion.
