Display current and overall speed of package downloads
Just like what APT shows, it would be very nice to see the transfer speeds during package downloads and also the overall speed of the total package download.
Yes, a workaround would be to just run a system monitor tool but those typically just show the overall system transfer speeds and not just for the package downloads.
Oh my bad, I just noticed there is a "download results" tabular output of average download speed of each file but I'll look into whether I can add an overall summary for total downloaded size versus overall average speed.

Scratch that... this will probably require some shell scripting expertise (which I dont have) to grab the overall download size and overall average time taken to calculate and print the overall average download speed.
apt-fast uses aria2 for parallel downloads. If it is possible to make the desired behavior available with aria2 then it can be configured for apt-fast via the config file.
