progress bar
Download status display
A progress bar is a graphical element in software interfaces that shows how much of a task has been completed.
It typically appears as a horizontal rectangle that fills from left to right as an operation proceeds, giving users visual feedback during downloads, installations, or other time-consuming processes.
Progress bars may show a percentage or simply indicate that work is happening; the latter type, which doesn't predict completion time, is sometimes called an indeterminate progress bar.
The progress bar crept forward so slowly I thought my computer had frozen.
