Two Progress Bars vs One Progress Bar : Less is more

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I open this issue in order to request displaying only one progress bar to 
the user instead of two. The latest Dev-client displays two progress bars 
at the same time. One progress Bar displays the total progress of the 
content while the other progress displays progress for each individual 
file. Displaying the total progress bar is more than enough for the user, 
showing them the "Downloading Content" progress bar for individual files at 
the same time overloads the user with extra information. In the end, both 
progress bars are serving the same purpose, keeping only one will get the 
job done. It also makes the WBC look really strange (in my opinion), can't 
think of any other application that makes use of two progress bars to 
display the same operation. 

If we really need this for debugging purposes, we could just show the two 
progress bars for those who run in Debug Mode, but show only one to the 
rest of the users.

Okay, the reason I included two is because the "total progress" bar could be 
really
inaccurate if there are multiple files of different sizes. For example, having 
20
files to download which are small, but one large (40MB+) would make the 
progress bar
less informative

I see your reasoning behind the two progress bars, but I still think we can get 
away 
with just one progress bar showing the total progress.The progress of the large 
(40Mb+) 
file will still be shown in the total progress bar, so it will still be 
redundant and 
overcrowding the GUI.
