Download with Progress Bar

Post by jarrodatt »

Hello Everyone,

What I'm trying to do is:

Utilizing the progress bar tuts, is incorporate it so in my download section when a user clicks a link to download a file, maybe a popup is activated to show either file being cached or straight download with the progress bar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That would be pretty difficult to do, the script has no idea of the browsers download speed.

I did a bit of "Googling" and it seems like you need to use websockets and node.js for an efficient progress bar.
