If you remove the Set Cursor statement there is a slow down in speed. Obviously, we can remove the print statements and rely solely on the progress bar to do it's job.
Notice also the calculation of the bps and Mbps.
if you are new to programming and wondering what .bits is, this is the file size * 8 , i.e. ftpfiles().bits = fsz * 8 where fsz is e.g. file size({your filename})
Of course , I have divided the duration end by 1000 to produce the result in seconds and not milliseconds
