Summary: Extra newlines created with --alternate flag and through put > 10000.0KB/s 


Initial Comment:
The alternative mode a very nice display mode (and more like wget), but on a fast connection (local net) the line ends up longer than default console and scrolls the text, instead of keeping on one line: 

...
[  7%] [0            1           2            3           ] [10298.2KB/s] [02:51
[  7%] [0            1           2            3           ] [10298.3KB/s] [02:51
[  7%] [0            1           2            3           ] [10294.4KB/s] [02:51
...

Suggestions:
  Subtract one character from thread display and give it to through put section,  to allow up to 99999.9KB/s

or
  If throughput goes > 10000KB/s then switch to MB/s, to allow up to 9999.9MB/s.

Tried on both 1.0b and 1.1.
