Um, what the fuck am I supposed to do with this??!?!

Don't you all also love progress bars that keep restarting?

I get calculation of progress isn't always useful or possible, but then please don't show a progress bar that goes in circles. Show a spinner and a time counter counting upwards so users know how long a process has been running. It's really not that hard. Thank you.

Looking at you #Synology, but there are many others.
