What do the colors in the progress bar mean?

Postby daguenet » Mon Feb 28, 2011 10:39 am

I have looked in all the docs I could find and could not find this information. Maybe I need better glasses :?
I have figured out some of them, I think but would like confirmation.

Green == Downloading or Unraring
Yellow == Autopar repair.
Red == Failed ????
Black == Not on server
Grey == Already downloaded
Purple == Part of a multipart download completed.

Green == Downloading or Unraring


This is only true if you have your server set to green. Otherwise downloading is whatever color you set your server to.

Black means that the information needed to download a chunk or chunks is missing.

I have my server set to reddish brown and while it is downloading a part that part is green on top and reddish brown on the bottom. That is what I meant by green == Downloading. It was yellow and when it was unraring the progress bar would turn green and progress across then the line would vanish so I figured it was unraring.

Thanks for all your hard work on this great new interface.

Thanks for the explanation. I had figured out some of the colors but I could not tell when it was un-raring because my server was set (default?) to green. Changed the server to blue and now I can tell at a glance what's happening :D

Quade, were you planning to do a progress bar color legend under the Help menu like you did for the icons?

I'm going to add a text status column. The color thing was just temporary. From a GUI standpoint, color coding things is kind of a bad idea. Lots of men are color blind so, they can't even tell the colors.

Is there anything I can do with these?

Is the issue that there are segments missing from both the main file and the associated par file? Do I need to manually force a par file download or something?
