So wait, all of this means that there's no download indicator when downloading something? If that's the case, then Mr. Joseph, you are completely right, that is, in my opinion, not good at all. This, in essence, means that we'll have absolutely no clue of how far along a download is, or, for that matter, is even progressing normally, (well maybe the progress tones would assist in this, don't know though and I honestly don't think so),which, again, my opinion here, is inconvenient for everybody. Just my thoughts there. Josh
