Ok, so I will open a feature request for this issue. Because with the
informations provided in SimpleProgress a freenet client cannot
display a correct progress to the user. Either we need more
informations about the progress of each segment, or the node
normalizes this by itself and provides a percentage :)
But the current behavior often leads to downloads that have more than
100% progress *g*
