Title: An idea to improve the multiple-blocks-at-once loading feature's look
Post by: LeeviON on February 27, 2015, 07:28:03 PM
I think the new feature in v0.10.0 that enables downloading multiple blocks at once and validating them later looks kind of unclear because it might look like it's stuck to downloading one block, sometimes for about half an hour or more.

I think it would be a nice addition to make it look like this:

The idea being simply that the number inside the parentheses is the amount of blocks downloaded, even if they aren't in order. It would give you an idea of how long it's going to take to download the chain and how the download is progressing.

It would be nice to have another tab in the Debug window with the list of all recently downloaded blocks, maybe even with downloading speed per block or even a progress indicator for each (a man can dream, can't he? :)).

When the block limit is increased it will be even more relevant.
