Some initial testing of the reget functionality shows that its
interaction with the progress meter code is a bit buggy. In one test, it
reported an inordinately high initial rate. In another test, it reported
a negative rate.

A simple test is to reget a file which was already transferred
successfully:

sftp> reget testfile.10gb
Resuming /nobackupp1/imorgan/testfile.10gb to testfile.10gb
/nobackupp1/imorgan/testfile.10gb               100%   10GB -2097151.-9KB/s   00:
sftp>
