Are you sure the "rescued" column is needed at all? I mean, it would be 
the widest column, increasing line size by 25%, and the rescued size can 
be calculated multiplying the "average rate" by the "time".

Alternatively the "rescued" column could replace the "average rate" 
column. In this case the average rate could be calculated dividing the 
rescued size by the time. This is more precise, but also makes a longer 
line.

As always, feedback is welcome. I would prefer to be sure that this is 
useful before adding such amount of redundancy to the rates file.


Best rergards,
