Ok, thanks all. Knowing that it must be a delay to start getting the info of the file being download what I do is meassure that delay and adapt the preloader accordingly. With every new download my new preolader adapts and knows better how long is it going to take it to start getting the info and how much of the file will be already downloaded when that happens.
So the first part of the preloading is just an animation taking the time I assume is going to take given the last downloads and the second part is the real preloader of the bytes left. Kind of tricky but it now works pretty well. On 6/26/07, Muzak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
