Like K, I'm surprised to see this reappear. Given that any chunk can take a long time to download, the display has to be updated not based on how many chunks have been retrieved, but by how much time has passed. We can retrieve the amount of data that has been retrieve at each time interval, and display that in the progress meter. That gives us arbitrarily fine grain in terms of "chunk size", but gives us a consistently updating display, without updating too quickly on a fast download, and updating too slowly on a slow download.
