If you're doing FXP transfers, there is no way show a progress bar.

True, not an accurate one exatly, but flash estimates the time using what the previous transfers have been...personally id like to see what speed flash is guessing the speed is going (so i dont have to scroll up the status window to find out...), and a estimated progress bar would be usefull i think.

vod, what I do is let FlashFXP's 'titlebar' show the time remaining; it works just as well, even though you don't see the speed

Because it is really hard to 'estimate' the speed, it could go down during transfers, meaning a progress bar could end with 120% instead of 100% This will happen because the only info it has, is from previous downloads. That is with FXP's the time remaining might differ and jump at times.

No, you do the exact same thing flash does now, when it gets to 100% you put up ??? since at that point its unknown....flash currently does this with estimated time remaining, its just a diffrent output method for the estimate (bytes vs time).
