Actually, the progress bar may not be reporting incorrectly at all.
Many times over the years my wife and I have been downloading something
or other with a progress bar. Often she described the progress as
starting off slowly and then speeding up dramatically, at some point
seeming to jump to the end. I haven't actually monitored the Jaws
progress bar with respect to the display, but would not be surprised if
jaws is just reporting what the system puts up on the screen.
Take care...

Hi,
I said I didn't care. I was expressing curiosity about something else.
Toggle, don't toggle. I don't care what you do.

What would be the harm of some toggle or something to shut up the
inaccurate progress bar?
