Thanks Pavel for making this change so quickly!

However, I don't think it's appropriate. A comment in the source from which that " eta %s" comes, says:

/* Translation note: "ETA" is English-centric, but this must
be short, ideally 3 chars. Abbreviate if necessary. */

Horizontal space is at a premium; especially considering that wget is often used on 80-column terms. осталось is just too long. If a short and acceptable abbreviation or alternative can't be found, it might be necessary to consider leaving the string untranslated, or even replacing it with blanks (on the assumption that the user can see for him/herself that it's an ETA).

It is obviously ridiculous that that note appears only in the source, and not in the translation template file. I've just now fixed it so it says "TRANSLATORS" instead of "Translation note", so that it will be picked up properly the next time I generate a template. (I won't upload a new one just yet, as there are a few features lacking documentation in the --help output that I want to get translated, so I expect to have a new template file with actual new translation work shortly.)

Hello,

a russian Debian wget user reports this:

http://bugs.debian.org/502218

--8<--
Translation 'ОВП' for string 'eta' (estimated time average) seems to be uncommon and difficult to guess.

Please, replace it with 'осталось'.
--8<--

I CC:ed the following addresses to this bug because I don't know where/how to report translation errors/suggestions to the teams correctly:

"Last-Translator: Pavel Maryanov <acid_jack@ukr.net>\n"
"Language-Team: Russian <gnu@mx.ru>\n"

(from po/ru.po)
