1> The download progress meter should change to indeterminate with timeouts to update it periodically. 2> The upper progress label should show the zippy number of the total being downloaded: e.g., "Downloading Mail & News (4 of 12)...", given that the upper progress meter will now be indeterminate.
Per discussion with dveditz, marking nsbeta3+.

We can't do item 1 unless we thread since we invoke ftp using the synchronous system() call. We had decided to to drop the thread dependency. This dependency coupled with the need for more granular feedback and the need to remove the dependency on shells (stdout/stderr redirect issues) means we should resolve this issue by integrating an ftp library instead of using timeouts with threading during download. Changing summary to reflect the same.

See bug 47921 for other justifications begging that we integrate an ftp library.

Still need to cover passive ftp support.
verified code fix
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
Using this bug to track passive mode support since that is part of the ftp impl. We need passive support since there is a siginificant group of users that will be downloading from behind a firewall. Reopening.
