I believe you've misread what I posted. I was not complaining about the "total number of bytes to be transferred" -- it makes sense to me that if the server does not tell you this value, then you can't show it. What I __was__ complaining about was the total lack of information on the 'Status:' line in the 'Saving' window (in my 202040908, that line was blank after the 'Status:') What I expected was for Mozilla to *count* how many bytes it had received from the server, and to show THAT value. (IBM Web Browser 1.2 *does* show, in its 'Saving file' window, the number of bytes it has received so far.) mikus
