Are there any widgets for predicting when a download (or any other process) will finish based on percent done history?

The trivial version would just do a 2 point fit based on the start time, current time and percent done but better option are possible.

A GUI widgest would be nice but a class that just returns the value would be just fine.

    For the theoretical algorithm that I would attempt, if I would write such a widget, would be something like:

    1. Record the amount of data transferred within a one second period (a literal KiB/s)
    2. Remember the last 5 or 10 such periods (to get an an recent average KiB/s)
    3. Subtract the total size from the transferred size (to get a ‘bytes remaining’)
    4. ???
    5. Widget!

    That oughta do it…

    (the missing step being: kibibytes remaining divided by average KiB/s)
