[Download File] Progress Text

alibaba · Post by **alibaba** » Tue Oct 27, 2009 8:43 am

Hi all together,

I have a problem with the progress text during download file. I receive the byte number and the percent number but there is no unit of measurement for the first number, see attached image.

Is this the default progress text? How can I get/set the unit!?

Thanks for answers.

This progress text is generated internally by the download engine, and is not modifyable.

Is this text generated by the download file plugin or does it come directly from IE download engine.

If the plugin is responsible then maybe an update could change this strange text.

I think "320,586," doesn't tell the user anything. There should at least stand "320,586 Bytes".

Then I and my customers would be happy.

Hi

I’m also interested in this issue fix.

I prefer to not have any progress text at all, then this strange “320,586, 2%“.
I tried to set PROGRESSTEXT to what I want to see, but it was changed by download file plugin and after it’s done was changed back to my text.

So I’m longing for some move from IA development
