  2. Progress bars shouldn't predict the future on Ask Slashdot: Why Is It So Hard To Make An Accurate Progress Bar? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that a progress bar has the faulty conception that it has to predict how long is it going to take when in reality a "progress" bar should indicate how much has it done out of a total to be done. Remove the time prediction and put something that really tells the user that something is happening, for example if you are moving a file put a "Bytes moved" counter or something similar, the user will know that the computer is working on the request and your progress bar may then show really how much has been done
