Hello, I don't have any suggestions about the applet, but a I have a suggestion for updating the broswer to display to indictate the progress of a task. Turbine has a nice XMLRPC server functionality, which you can use to indicate the status of the process. You can send a javascript XMLRPC client like the one by Jan-Klaas Kollhof (don't have a url sorry, google him) to the broswer, which it could use to make xml rpc calls and then update a progress bar implemented with W3 DOM or DHTML or whatever. I use XMLRPC calls to refresh combo boxes, so I know the xmlrpc stuff works for sure at least.
