           Summary: Main progress meter does not correspond to individual
                    feed meters properly
           Product: akregator
           Version: 1.6.6
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rsimmons0 at gmail.com


Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

If you have enough feeds that you can even see the progress meter go by the
following can happen if the first feed site is down:
The main progress meter stalls at 0% until that feed fetch times out.  Then the
meter continues to 100%.  However, if you click the expand arrow next to the
meter to show each individual concurrent feed fetch, you can see that the other
ones are downloading just fine and each has its own functioning progress meter.
 You would not notice this unless you expand the main meter.  If you don't you
may think that the whole thing is stalled.  Perhaps the main meter should
proceed and then stop at 99% or something appropriate like that so you can see
when actual progress has stopped and you are waiting for a stalled connection
or a timeout due to a site being down.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
You must setup a series of RSS feeds and fetch all of them successfully.
Then have one of the feeds be down or running very very slow, preferably make
it the feed that gets fetched first during a normal fetch process (you can
probably simulate this on your firewall).
Try to fetch all the feeds again and look at the progress meter.
Expand the main meter with the little arrow button next to it and look at the
individual progress meters.

Actual Results:  
The main meter is stuck at 0% even though there is progress happening in the
background.

Expected Results:  
The main meter should proceed as long as there is progress.
