Vish, Indeed the starting at 0% might have been misleading but unfortunately this is given by rsync itself. The thing is that when rsync starts "updating" and ISO, it starts from 0 to XX (in let's say 10 seconds), where XX will be the percentage that is already downloaded, from that point, it will start moving from XX to 100% (in the time it takes to download that percentage left).
Because of this, it *seems* that rsync is downloading a new ISO completely when it is not. It is just updating the ISO. For this reason it is why testdrive will always show from 0 to 100%. And yes, this is a limitation from rsync, and to tell you the truth, using *zsync* causes the progress to change depending on what step it is downloading, and it is not always accurate. But you can still use *zsync* though. To do this, just do to the "Other" tab, and click on "Add ISO" and in the new dialog, add the URL of the ISO you wan't to download and select zsync as downloading protocol Either way, I personally prefer rsync. You don't need to file another bug!
