Hi, I want to use twisted as nntp client. Is it possible to add somewhere into the streams something like a progress bar or something that reports the download speed or the total transferred bytes? I have not looked too deeply into twisted, but as I understand it it uses the Decorator pattern between the connection and the actual handler. All I would need is to add a little class somewhere in between each connection and the handler, so that I can decorate the Protocol.dataReceived events...
