something was done.
If I have 10 packages and in the download of the fourth package has gone
the connection
its better to know it was at 40% rather than at 25% or any arbitrary number
divided by the
whole number of processes to complete the task. But this is just how I see
it. No problem, if PK
was engineered in the way that one percentage of completion is divided by
all the tasks then
I think there is nothing wrong, its just my point of view thats a bit
different. Both work for sure.
