Recently, we upgraded to 7.11.2 internally, we're using libcurl with
PyCurl. We noticed, after upgrading that libcurl was spitting out when
requesting SPEED_UPLOAD or SPEED_DOWNLOAD a bytes/sec value equal to the
actual size of the file. We then tested this with the command line
version of Curl:

curl -T /home/FileData/file-3 http://penguin-010:8080/put/file-3 -w
"Results:\n%{time_total}\n%{size_upload}\n%{speed_upload}\n"

Results:
0.587
1048576
1048576.000

The file itself is 1MB. The question is this: Why would Curl report back
an average bytes/sec value equal to the size of the file? If it took
half a second, the bytes/sec value should obviously be greater than the
size of the file.

Just wondering if I'm missing something. Thanks guys.
