Probably the latter. My main issue with percentages is with large files where
the percentages can take a while to update,
so I'd rather see the size based update at a fixed rate,
that way I can see if the download's stauled for some reason.
I do lots of work over VPNs etc where this happens depressingly often.
Cheers,
Adam.
