If a transfer takes less than a second Fetch will report a transfer rate of zero. You might want to calculate the transfer rate yourself:
set startTime to the current date
set endTime to the current date
set transferTime to endTime - startTimeThanks,

Hello Jim and others,
Can you please explain what is the best way to retrieve transfer window properties back into Applescript?
My objective is to write information about a file transfer (like tranfser rate, bytes transferred) to a logfile maintained by the Applescript.
I did some experiments and found that my example sometimes (about 1 out of 20) reports the transfer rate correctly, but all other times the returned transfer rate is 0.
Here is some (stripped down) code I experimented on. Can you please advise how to improve?
----
on open doc
set fetchconnection1 to fetchconnect(theServerAddress, thePort, theUserName, thePassword, theDirectory)
repeat with oneDoc in doc
tell application "Finder"
set oneDocName to name of item (contents of oneDoc)
end tell
with timeout of 60000 seconds
try
tell application "Fetch"
try
put into transfer window 1 item oneDoc with uniquename
on error
--blah
end try
set fetch_transferrate1 to fetch_transferrate() --> this is where I try to get the transfer rate from Fetch Transfer Window 1
display dialog fetch_transferrate1
end timeout
end repeat
end open
--Subroutines--
on fetch_transferrate()
tell application "Fetch"
tell transfer window 1
transfer rate
end tell
end tell
end fetch_transferrate
on fetchconnect(theServerAddress, thePort, theUserName, thePassword, theDirectory)
with timeout of 20 seconds
try
tell application "Fetch"
make new transfer window at beginning with properties {hostname:theServerAddress, port:thePort, username:theUserName, password:thePassword, initial folder:theDirectory, authentication:SFTP, encrypt:true}
end tell
on error the_errormessage
--blah
end try
end timeout
end fetchconnect
