I chose to display the to-check number because it is a more useful value to the user. It is easy to eye-ball with small transfers, but as the number of files increases, it becomes harder to mentally subtract the numbers to see how close we are to being done. Since an incremental transfer is increasing the number of total files as it finds new files to transfer, hopefully the user will see that it makes sense that the to-check value would also need to go up (even if they find it surprising at first). ..wayne.. -- Please use reply-all for most replies to avoid omitting the mailing list.
