Example of spiky transfer rates that lead to poor estimations
SUMMARY
The calculation for the displayed time remaining on the file transfer dialog
for file copy/move operations seems to be based off of the current transfer
speed and remaining data to be transferred only.
This leads to highly variable estimations that render the information mostly
useless a lot of the time (rapidly changing between 3-4 minutes and 20+
minutes, for example) .
This is especially evident when transferring multiple files from a
slower/inconsistent/high-latency source (see attached screenshot for an
example).
Instead, the estimation should be based on a rolling average, perhaps something
like the last 10 seconds, to absorb spikes and variability and provide more
reliable and useful feedback to the user.
