It occurred to me that trying to bulk load some files from a web server
(locally connected, 100Mbps) that the current speed column contains negative
values.

Client is win32 V7.9
Server is a VMS webserver (WASD V6.1.5)

like:
C:\TEMP\test>curl -3 -u xxxxx:xxxxxxxx -K data.info
  % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Curr.
                                 Dload Upload Total Current Left Speed

data.info contains a bunch of lines along:
        -o <dir>/<file>
        url = https://<site>/data/test/<file>

The trailing zeros probably are left from previously printed larger numbers...
Looking at the source the problem is not very obvious to me.
It might have something to do wih the short transmis times.
