Nice report. How about this patch? -- %< -- Subject: xz -v: Leave ETA on screen if encoding fails After encoding each file, xz prints a report with final statistics to replace the progress information. In particular, the elapsed time replaces the time remaining. If encoding fails, though (for example because the user interrupted it), it is probably more useful to leave the time remaining on screen.
