may be worth noting that while for downloads the progress bar is really a time estimate based on average download speed, for everything else it's purely based on the number of steps. it will very often be misleading, since the build step can take a lot longer than the others...

also, regarding listing failed installations in the status bar, eb usually exits when one of the easyconfigs fails... not for uploading test reports, so it is relevant there, any other cases?

@migueldiascosta Thanks for the suggestions, should be good to go now!
