Oh, I just ran into something where a small utility would help out. Basically I needed something that would be just like cp or mv, but would give the transfer rate of the file copy. Lot's of programs do this (scp, ftp, wget, etc...), but I don't think there is a way to have cp do it. I could use 'time', but that's no fun. :)

Can anyone suggest a small application CLI or GUI that just seems to be "missing" from Linux? Not necessarily an application that exists in Windows, but not in Linux, but a program that would make some part of your Linux experience better.
I am just dying to make a cool Linux app/project, but I am lacking ideas. For interface, I am considering console, GTK+ or Qt. For programming language, I am considering Python or C++;
I appreciate your ideas.
