global process events

[piranna]

When downloading several files at a time, the progress callback (for example when using download-status) should notify the progress globally instead of for each individual download progress.

Might be hard to do since everything is done concurrently, i.e all files is downloaded at the same time.

[piranna]

Now that several files can be downloaded concurrently and there's a global tasks array, maybe each one of the downloads instead of emit the events themselves would emit them internally, being the Download manager that listen to them and emit the progress events for the total of them.

Still trying to figure out how to do this now that I'm using got instead of request.

[piranna]

Yes, I've also seen that you removed the events so download-status could be used... :-/

[piranna]

This is still happening in 4.1.0.

[kevva]

Yes, I don't think I'll add global events in the near future.

[piranna]

If it's not possible to have a global progress bar, one for each download would be a good thing, although dificult. It could be done by using store & restore cursor position commands.

Wat. :horse:

Cool, I'll try it later.
