Progress Downloads

[Bartlett Vallee]

Iwas downloading a file, and quit safari while it was downloading. I deleted the download file, and now, there's a blue progress bar under my downloads folder (in dock) that won't go away. I tried resetting safari, nothing.

I realize this is an extremely late response to the problem but I recently encountered this problem and found a simpler solution, one a novice may find more equipped to address. Although, I as well went to my second home the terminal & ran the trusty "ps aux" command with the idea of narrowing down my search to run a "kill" command; but, one look at the long list of operations and I had a second thought, " There must be a simpler, more novice, approach to this problem." . Then it hit me:

The second edition of Sustainable Energy For All (SE4All) Global Tracking Framework provides an update on how fast the world moved toward sustainable energy goals between 2010 and 2012. It tracks progress toward universal access to modern energy, doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements and doubling the share of renewable energy consumption in the global energy mix. The report also assesses whether the world is moving fast enough to achieve those goals by 2030.

The first SE4All Global Tracking Framework identified indicators that track progress toward the SE4All objectives of universal access to modern energy, doubling the rate of energy efficiency improvements and doubling the share of renewable energy consumption in the global energy mix. It draws on data from more than 180 countries, which account for more than 95 percent of the world's population. The report also documented the evolution of the indicators between 1990 and 2010 to provide a baseline for assessing progress in the next twenty years.

When I download something, a progress bar appears in the dock under the "Downloads" icon. However, after the download finishes, the solid bar stays under the "Download" and does not disappear. The solid bar will not disappear from the dock even when I removed the "Download" from the dock and it will stays between the "Trash" and the separate line. The only way to make it disappear is to restart iMac.

This is a known bug in Yosemite (and I'm pretty sure it occurred in Mavericks, too). I see it quite often. The above Terminal command/logout solution works, but the half-finished progress bar returns in my experience. The solution I've found to be the fastest is drag off the offending folder, and then drag it back on.

I have also been dealing with the non-disappearing bar underneath the download folder in my dock since upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion on my MBP 15" Retina (late 2012 version). I've been using Yosemite since it was released (upgrade, not fresh install- I haven't noticed any other issues). I've mostly just ignored the bar and assumed that it would get fixed in an OS patch/update/new version (like Mavericks to Yosemite).

But... since this doesn't seem to be a priority... I thought I'd check out if anyone else is having this issue. Looks like it's a fairly widespread issue based on my skulks through various Apple/Mac/OS X forums and message boards.

Braintoniq's "drag the offending folder off the dock, then back on again" was an instant fix on my end. I also tried the Terminal command/logout solution, but who wants to log out and back in every few hours? I'm really curious to know if this is on Apple's radar at all, or if this is just too minor of a user-experience issue to rate fixing.

Since updating my MacBook Pro to macOS Catalina, which removes iTunes, I can no longer view the download progress of updating the software for my iPhone. When updating through iTunes there used to be a progress status bar giving me an idea of time to download. But now, since the updates occur through Finder, all I see is a spinning icon next to my phones name. Is there any way to show the download progress and time left in this new Catalina update?

It will show the size of the current (*.ipsw.download) and all previous (*.ipsw) update files, which can be used to estimate progress. For example, for a 2.9G update file (can be estimated using previous update files), if we see that the current update file size is 2.3G, then the progress would be approximately 2.3G / 2.9G = 79%. By running the above command periodically, we can somewhat know how long it may still take (or at least the downloading is still in progress and not stopped because of network or other issue).

Agreed to the fact that Apple has removed the progress bar for software download (like in iTunes). It used to give the download percentage (as far as I remember) and an estimated time remaining. An average iOS software file is around 3-4 GB (iOS 13.2 is 3.8 GB for iPhone XR). The terminal command being the only option for now, you can use this 'while' loop on the terminal:

The numeric value after they keyword "sleep" is the number of seconds the code sleep before repeating itself again. So a value of 20 (20 secs) means, the same ls -lhrt command gets repeated after 20 seconds and shows you the most recent downloaded side of the file. So you do not have to repeatedly type the command again and again. Just set your preferred time in second after "sleep".

That is the output of the `ls` command, which lists the contents of a given directory. Each line of the output can be interpreted like a table. In your case there's only one line. We'll take the pieces one at a time:

we support customers all over the world....from the USA, Australia to Vietnam and Philippines. iOS download times vary from 5 minutes to 15 hours. It is now extremely difficult to position a time consuming task and call back without being able to provide ETA guidance or track download progress. In some instances this may result in customers having to leave their phone connected to their computer for over a half a day for no reason other than the download progress is not shown in Catalina.

In instances where we have to force a device into recovery, in which it will only stay in recovery mode for 15 minutes, its now difficult to provide guidance on what steps the customer will need to complete if we don't know if the download will take more or less than 15 minutes. For some customers, this step can easily confuse them if provided unnecessarily and this change seems like a drastic layer of complexity that has been added with Catalina.

I'm not saying that the following is a perfect solution - but it does give you a pretty progress bar for now until this makes itself back into the OS proper (hopefully, crossing fingers)

Apple Configurator 2 is used for device management, so read up on it before doing anything else besides this restore. You've been warned (even though I love this nifty app, most of it's features aren't meant for the consumer realm)

System updates and downloading apps are done on the iPhone itself and not via the Finder. All the Finder does is backup the iPhone and sync selected photos, music tracks, files, audiobooks, books, movies, TV Shoes and Podcasts.

I just updated mine to 13.2 for first time in Catalina, and you are right there is no indicator of download progress, though from memory this used to be in top RH corner of the main screen or in Launchpad, outside of iTunes.

Yes the pie works for part of regular sync but iOS updates just have the circling arrows for most of the download process in my experience and with middling internet speeds can be for half an hour or more.

I was downloading a file from the internet which was too large to store on my hard drive. I stopped the download and now I am left with a partially completed progress bar under the Downloads folder in the dock. I have removed the icon for the folder but I can't remove the partially filled progress bar. Any ideas on how to get rid of the bar.

You should be able to into your download folder and remove the partially downloaded file. If this is what you did, you might need to clear your browser cache file. Restarting your computer is always a good option.

I would like to preface this by saying RClone works great, but I would like to run a clean up script in my downloads folder once per day, but I do not wish to delete anything that is currently being downloaded.

I have a script that calls Rclone move if there are new files on my Seedbox to download to my local TrueNAS install. If there is it downloads them. Sonarr then picks up on the local downloaded files, and organizes the files by copying them to a folder, etc. Sonnar cannot delete the downloaded files, so they just sit there and take up space in the downloads folder.

In general I don't like making scripts that delete things blindly without some checking beforehand, so that's why I was asking if somehow it's possible to know if rclone is currently downloading a file.

Like when you download from Chrome browser it puts a .crdownload extension on the file before its finished. Then in the script you can just make a condition to exclude all files names with that extension.

If you are copying files to a local filesystem then rclone will use the .partial extension for any in-progress files (added in 1.63.0). You can exclude any files with the .partial extension from your purge script and that should skip any in-progress files.

Yea, I will try to make a custom script in sonarr that runs on import. I am not sure how to selectively delete the imported files. It's outside the scope of Rclone, so I will ask over on the Sonarr forums.

Dear colleagues, We have got a nice roster of student where you see animated progress under Student Accounts and Progress. I am sure may needed to get it as a downloadable spreadsheet file showing student name and the status of each puzzle they had to solve throughout the assigned course.
