When the green bar fills up... isn't that supposed to mean "complete"?

Why even have a progress bar if it's not tied to actual progress?

    for(int i=0;i<100;I++){
    progress++;
    Thread.sleep(1000);
    }

    propably the progress bar indicates actual download state, (to RAM), but when it writes from RAM to drive, its not reflected in progress bar and it can appear "stuck" at 100%.

    I know it's not the cause of the problem here, but it really grinds my gears when people complain about an OS when they're not even using the latest version ugh sorry

    @liberaldog Sorry mate, but that's either an infinite loop or a compile error.

    @MLK79 My phone capitalized the third i and yes I didn't initialize progress but the point still stands

    @liberaldog You didn't initialise the variable progress. That's world ending stuff.

    @liberaldog You're good, don't worry about it. It's not like you caused a space craft to blow up in orbit or anything.
