Coolo and Taj have a better picture on this.

See kio/DESIGN for the ramblings about progress info...

Yup, that's also why nobody else ported it ;-)))

I like the idea of a "progress-info-server"  ... but I think we have
to provide ALSO the usual way of emitting progress info, for caitoo,
konqueror's progress bar, ... and other apps that want detailed reports.
Any other app using Job or NetAccess to simply download/upload should
rely on the server to display the progress information.
