Or you could add an option in the gateway
that adds a frame or something like it to the bottom of the page in the browser
that contains details on what is happening. Such as, if it is in queue, how
long it has been in queue, if it is transferring data, still looking for a key,
what the key is, how long its been in all of these states, and the
speeds that it is doing all this.
This way people can see what is going on
inside of Freenet on the current page they are visiting.
Just information like that on a frame of some
sort as an optional thing to turn on, so as not to get people mad that hate
frames, dont care what is happening, or want more space to view content
This seams like a very feasible thing and relatively
easy for some one trained well in the art of being smart.
Just adding to this idea because I think
this would be a great visual improvement to all the inside work you guys are
doing

Subject: [freenet-support] A
modest wish list item
When you are downloading a site or a file, and either Waiting
for... or Transferring data from... is displayed at the
bottom of the window (in Netscape), the user does not know what's happening. Is
the search for the key progressing normally? If the data has been found, is the
request in some sort of queue? If data is being transferred, what's the rate?
Is it dribbling in, or has it halted altogether? Or have things just hung up
somewhere, and further waiting would be a waste of time?
Here's the wish: Could the wordqueued (or something)
be added after Waiting for...? If data transfer is occurring, could
the transmission rate be added? Or a little progress bar?
Just a thought...
