Hallo Michael,

Argh, I missed that. You are right that a double elapsed is enough for the
second part. However, with
+ current_speed = (current_size / MEGABYTES) / (elapsed / 1000.0);
the first division is an integer one because both operands are ints, so
megabytes conversion is rounded down. I'd suggest:
+ current_speed = ((double) current_size / MEGABYTES) / (elapsed / 1000);

Nope, they come from the other divisions, but the fist division will have
wipped out 0.5 MiB on average.

Applies, compiles, global & local "make check" (although not tested) ok,
doc build ok, manual tests ok.
Otherwise a very minor comment: I'd invert !force and the computations in
the return condition to avoid the computations when not needed.
