Regarding the first question: Not sure how to get the ticking to return. I've never actually heard ticking sounds for anything other than the Apple Software Update progress - all other ones are quiet with VO. Maybe I've inadvertantly turned it off, as I think softwareupdate logs in under another account when it's doing it's dirty work. Second question: you can try setting up the download progress area as a hotspot. Press vo+shift+number (any number up to 9 maybe) to save a hotspot (when your vo cursor is on the progress bar), and press vo+cmd+number to have vo "describe" the item at that particular hotspot. Vo+Number moves focus to the hotspot. This doesn't work with some things *ahem song name in itunes ahem*, but it's pretty neat otherwise.
