Sometimes, "expected" can be "0", but in fact means "unknown". This is for example the case when downloading a file while the http server doesn't send the `Content-Length` header, like when running `nix build` pointing to a nixpkgs checkout streamed from GitHub: ⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello [1.8/0.0 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz' In that case, don't show that weird progress bar, but only the (slowly increasing) downloaded size ("done"). ⇒ nix build -f https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz hello [1.8 MiB DL] downloading 'https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/archive/master.tar.gz' This commit also updates fmt calls with three numbers (when something is currently 'running' too) - I'm not sure if this can be provoked, but showing "0" as expected doesn't make any sense, as we're obviously doing more than nothing.

Another option would be to show a "?" instead of hiding the zeroes, I'm not sure about what we should prefer. |
