Don't depend on GNU share+unshare to extract the distfile.  Sed trickery is lighter weight.

Increase the granularity of the statistics.  Rounding to whole msec isn't

Commit #3/4 to enforce caps, no period.

FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.
