safari browser download speed and time remaining bug

When downloading something in Safari browser I can see download speed. After clicking again on download button, speed disappears and time remaining appears and download speed is no longer available. Is it possible to have both at the same time? I tried all suggestions on internet since macOS versions old more than decade, but still the same bug. Is it possible to solve it? I have macOS Mojave.


Thanks in advance

The browser decides to show how it was programmed. Of course, the developers could have shown a continuous variable download speed and time remaining. There is room for this information. Programmatically, and unless multi-threaded, Safari would be interrupted every time it had to do these calculations, and perhaps the developers decided speed over program reporting was in the best interest of the end user. As a fellow user, I have no inside knowledge that this was the case.


If you want an accurate, non-flash based view of your download speed, use speedof.me.
