Loss statistic

[dudanov]

Hi!
I have 2 questions:

1. Why ping started with 100% loss?
2. While ping in progress and screen is filled, loss value is jumping about one pixel cost (for example, 0~0.3%)
   I understand that this is not a bug, but rather a small unpleasant features of realization.

That is a good observation. I wasn't the person who added the ping loss feature, it looks like it just uses whatever's on-screen to do the calculation. Are you up for tweaking it to be a some other metric? Perhaps storing an array of tried vs given up? I don't believe I have a threshold now for giving up.

Here is my fix for issue 1: dreua@43f1ae1

Should I send a pull request?

I won't fix issue part 2 for my own use but I could give it a try if someone desperately needs it. ;)

Yes, please make a pull request. I tried thinking through it once and got confused.
