Files aren't downloaded in sequential order, and the pieces in the torrent are also requested randomly. You might have one piece left for a file, but it might not be available from a peer willing to upload or get requested for hours, for one reason or another.

I think it would be usefull -and possible- to be able to see the average download speed of an individual file. (it would be enough to subtract the current downloaded amount from the downloaded amount x time ago for a couple of delta-t's and a guestimate can be made)

Once the individual download speed is available it should be easy to calculate an individual ETA "guestimate".

Maybe when this thread was started 4 years ago internet connections weren't fast/predictable enough to allow for this -i know mine wasn't.

This would be very usefull when downloading (for instance) a torrent containing an entire season of a TV-show. This way it would be possible to know when the next episode will have finished downloading -especially usefull for those that assign download priorities whisely.
