Displaying an estimate of how long the process will take doesn't offer
clear information on how it's going.  It's true many people won't make
much out of the KB/sec number, and for them it makes the interface
noisier.  But anyone who transfers large files even now and then will 
appreciate seeing the transfer rate to see how it's going.
