> the actual number is not important...what is important is real feedback that things are still happening Absolutely agree, but then, don't make it a percentage progress bar. Make it one of those "amount unknown" bars, or better yet, a spinner or game-like loading screen. Something with movement that tells me things are happening. Don't pretend to know "how done" it is if you don't know.

The web has ruined those feedback widgets for me. Now every time I see one of those spinners I think “oh look, a gif that will keep spinning even if the process I’m waiting on has failed”.
