Once a particular package (lets say of size N kB) has been downloaded, the progress bar corresponding to it reflects the status correctly showing 100%. However, the textfield beside the proogressbar shows "Downloaded 0B of N kB" which is evidently incorrect. This is conspicuous in the attached screenshot.
