Expected duration is not very helpful

Hello forum and developers,
the prediction of the expected duration jumps between two files partly from a few minutes to a few hundred days. Apparently it depends on how big the files are. Small files take relatively much time, larger ones go faster. Since the files are counted and analyzed in advance, can't the prediction be calculated a bit more accurately? That would be very helpful.

Kind regards

PS: I am still using v11.13. Maybe it has already been changed?

I think the algorithm has changed a bit since 11.13. Unfortunately, there is no perfect way to calculate it, every option has certain situations that cause it to be inaccurate. I think, currently, it is:
(Remaining size) / (Average rate over previous x seconds)
or something like that
