progress bar updates too fast

[UnsungHero97]

I'm using the progress bar to show progress for a file transfer. The progress bar works just fine, but it's updating too fast. In the image, the estimated time and estimated transfer speed are being updated really quickly, which causes a flickering effect.

Is there a way to get it to update at a fixed interval, or at least less frequently?

For time sensitive widgets such as the ETA you can increase the poll=0.1 parameter for the progressbar (https://github.com/WoLpH/python-progressbar/blob/master/progressbar/__init__.py#L132).

If you are not using time sensitive widgets you can use the update_interval property instead: https://github.com/WoLpH/python-progressbar/blob/master/progressbar/__init__.py#L169
