Speed report when networks drops = infinite number ?

Hi,
here is the small issue :

The speed is adjusting very slowly when network is disconnected.
That doesn't look good, because after a few seconds, it's showing crazy number of hours remaining (1 million hours ?).
I was downloading 1gb of data, the connection dropped. My download would apparently be done in DECEMBER !!!
The remaining time is overlapping everywhere, it's not pretty in web interface, or in OSX Menubar.

If speed is 0, but sabnzbd daemon is still reflecting speed of a few BYTES/ second as an average of previous transfers, it should really just show either an infinity symbol ∞, or just --, because the speed is actually Zero :)

Thanks !

We show an average speed over some time.
Otherwise you would get a very odd speed graph,
because Usenet traffic is rather irregular by nature.
(Due to the method of "ask for article", "wait", "get the article at max speed").

We could force it to zero below a certain threshold,
but we're not going to do it now because it will be redone
sometime in the future anyway.
