When I download a book, if I focus on the download window I can use my WE
mouse/numpad to check the time and speed of the download. I don't remember if
the BART download has the check box to close the download page after the
download is complete but I think it does. Also with Window-eyes percentage
script you can set the interval of percentage announcements.

Subject: [tabi] Question for those downloading from the BARD site
I was emailing someone today about this question:
"How do you know when you have downloaded a complete book?"
I heard someone say to check how many items are in the unzipped folder then
compare the number of items after the unzipping is done.
My example; 105 megabytes, 22 items in the zipped folder and 21 items
unzipped
So are the items in each folder supposed to be equal or one less?
I also have been told that 1 hour listening time equals 11 megabytes.
That would give me 105 MB or not quite 10 hours of listening. My V R Stream
says the book is 9 hours, 55 minutes and 44 seconds long. Now 10 hours is close
enough for me.
I didn't want to jump through the book heading by heading. Oh by the way the
book has 26 headings. Sometimes the length of the book on the BARD site is not
quite accurate.
