>I think you should bring back an upload progress bar that works. Same ip connects and disconnects, no aqua in bar to indicate what stage upload is at, and time remaining never diminishes. Even if it is only relative, it would be helpful.

It's fixed for the next major version. (Don't think it'll make it into the 2.8 series, but it's just a display bug anyway.)

>Plus, could somebody explain the way the Library computes uploads? I don't understand the fractions. Say it is 34/78, I would expect as chunks transmit, the first number would increase, but both increase, and often, the first number never catches up to the second number.

It's not really a fraction. The first number is the amount of completed uploads, the second is the amount of attempted uploads. So, if one person tries to upload, it'll show as 0/1. If that upload completes succesfully, it'll become 1/1. If someone else attempts, it'll be 1/2. But, if that person cancels the upload, it'll stay at 1/2, and the two well never again be the same number.

Right now, chunks count as distinct uploads, so someone uploading one file in chunks may generate 50/50, or 49/50, if they decide to finish early. This may be somewhat confusing, and there's arguments for and against it... but changing it would require a pretty massive overhaul (well, not really, but doing it correctly would).

Any suggestions on how to make the numbers more meaningful?
