The idea is not to modify the driver one bit in benefit of uncontroversial
deployment of my application (TrakEM2 at
http://www.ini.unizh.ch/~acardona/trackem2.html ). If java was lisp I would
simply alter the register to replace the InputStream, but it isn't and/or I
don't know how to use reflection to that extent (I don't know what would
happen was I to replace the InputStream using reflection once a connection
has been created).
Therefore I ask for suggestions on how to monitor the downloading rate ...
If there aren't any, well, tough luck! I'll have to live with it.
