I have just implemented moving progress for caching enclosures. I
consider this as main feature related with updatind, which has to be
in 1.1.5.

For the next version, I plan to have 2 queues. One for updating feeds,
the second one for caching online content and enclosures.

I have improved the manual caching as the following:
- when caching enclosure, it shows 'Caching (x remain)' and the
progess shows how much of the file is downloaded.
- when caching online content, it shows 'Caching (x remain)' and the
progress shows many files where already cached (one page could have
more items).
Well, this is quite inconsistent to the channel update where pRSSr
shows 'site: task (n remain)'. Here, n is related to the task and
progress bar shows n. In manual caching, n is related to the whole
caching process.
This problem will be solved with the 2 queue feature (see above). The
first bar will show 'Sitename: action' (action = connecting | updating
| ...) and the progress will be related to the whole updating process.
The second bar will show the filename and the progress will show
amount of downloaded file.
This my idea of the future version. Comments are welcomed.
