Download Progress

In this example picture, 2049Kb of the file has been downloaded.  When the file is finished downloading the word Done appears in the State column of the download progress bar.  When you are downloading a file, you may notice the size indicated in the State column indicates itself to be larger than the actual file size.  This is normal and appears to be due to the use of FEC in frost.  FEC is used to make retrieving a file in freenet more likely by redundantly copying parts of a file and inserting them into freenet.  I refer you to the freenet webpage for more information on FEC usage in freenet.  Please note, you can have more than one file downloading simultaneously.  These examples are to show you simplified examples for getting started with using Frost.  This tutorial is not a definitive manual on Frost.
