Describe your concern

I’d like to share a small suggestion regarding the download progress display in Parabolic.

Currently, the video downloads with its own progress bar, and once it’s done, the bar resets for downloading the audio that will be merged later. For some users, this can feel a little confusing, as it looks like the download restarts instead of continuing.

It could be helpful to have a single, unified progress bar that reflects the total progress of all files involved—video, audio, and any additional data—so the percentage gives a clear sense of the overall download.

A custom algorithm can calculate the total size of all files involved in the download (video, audio, and any additional data) and track the downloaded size, allowing a single progress bar to reflect the overall completion percentage. This will give users a smoother and easier experience without changing how they handle actual downloads.

I think this small change could make the download process feel more natural and transparent, and it would be a neat improvement for both casual and advanced users.
