Updating a progress bar every 250ms will give you bad UI. You might as well not
have it then I think. From experience with progress events for XMLHttpRequest
you want something about every 50ms to get a smooth download bar.

The reason I suggested another name is that progress is very generic and we
might want to use it for something else in the future. The function here is
also very specific so it seems better to keep the name consistent with that.
