Problem is the rounding in the text: 12.1 MB of 12.1 MB downloaded. You can't see if this is 99% or not. All digits even become difficult with large numbers:

Problem is the rounding in the text: 12.1 MB of 12.1 MB downloaded.
You can't see if this is 99% or not.
All digits even become difficult with large numbers: 175.464.272 of 175.484.272 downloaded (i.e. not 100%).
