It's because you are continuously adding to 'currentWeight', and never
resetting it to 0.
For example, in the case of loading just one file:
if my file was 1000 bytes, and the load progress was:
200 bytes finished...
300 bytes finished..
500 bytes finished...
700 bytes finished...
1000 bytes finished...all done!
then obviously, just adding those numbers together would be incorrect,
it would give me 2700, which means nothing.
