but then again if were returning an average of the last few minutes then it would be no different a mechanism than is used now. I have been thinking baout this and i have come to another possible solution. segmented uploading. therefore if you make the segments smalll enough it would seem as if you were uploading a constant stream and would have what appears to be an up to date speed check. when in reality the your looking at a greater number of individual segements. there is only one major problem with this. server speed. with having the server check every segment and report back, this will slow the transfer down immensly. so all in all we are back where we started and we better understand the fundamentals before we go asking for the impossible.
here is another $,02
