v. 27.4 Download Manager doesn't show time count
So, in this 27.4 release the Download Manager (incorporated, no add-on tool) no longer shows that you are downloading something and how long it still takes below the little arrow symbol. If you want to see whether a download is going on and how it is progressing you now have to open an extra window by clicking on that arrow. That is strange and I wonder why that had to be changed?

The display still works for me, for both the "Downloads" arrow, and "Download Status" arrow that's related to the Status Bar.
You might check the settings in your Status Bar options, see if any need adjusting.
Open them via the PM status bar toolbar button, or
Menu Bar -> Tools -> Options -> Status bar options, or
PM button -> Options -> Options -> Status bar options

Oh, thank you, I hadn't noticed that option at all. Indeed the settings in this version were different from those in the version 27.2.1 I used prior to that. I'll try.

Nope, it still doesn't show anything. I have copied exactly the settings I had in 27.2.1. Arrow remains dark grey, no progress line and no time remaining count. At least when downloading from gallica.fr. Maybe you try yourself and see what happens on your side.. This book as PDF.

Re: v. 27.4 Download Manager doesn't show time count
That's normal for the way the server offers the download.
The server does not indicate a file size when initiating the download, meaning it's unknown how large the file is going to be until the server sends an "end of file" signal to the browser.
As a result, there is no way for the browser to know how much data is left, or, consequently, how much time is left in the download. The arrow will be grey with no time indication, and it will turn green when the file is completed. If you open the downloads panel by clicking the button, you will see the progress (how much has been downloaded up to this point), and "unknown time remaining".

Yes, exactly as described. So, it's a website related problem? Some larger photos and videos from other sources had the download count I am used to.
