A timer itself is high overhead, another hidden window and is not necessary where an event is already being called regularly. Much easier to use GetTickCount which returns milliseconds since Windows booted, store a value and then check against until a duration as passed, there is an ICS function IcsCalcTickDiff that does this, TMagFtp updates progress every 2,000 ticks, two seconds. TWsocket has a Counter property that includes ConnectTick when a connection started so you can easily check how long it's been going.
