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 it’s 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, don’t 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 word "queued" (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...
