Jul 29, 2015 at 13:05 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit @O.R.Mapper You don't need to know. Just don't show the progress bar until a second has passed. If, after a second, the transfer has already completed, don't show it at all. Sure, for large transfers with a progress bar, you won't see it for the first second. But who cares? That's a small proportion of the transfer time in that scenario by definition.
Jul 29, 2015 at 12:45 comment added njzk2 for starters, make sure your progress bar does not push you other elements around. If real estate is an issue, you can use a different progress bar. can be a simple line, or a morph of the button. something like github.com/dmytrodanylyk/circular-progress-button
Jul 29, 2015 at 12:44 comment added O. R. Mapper @LightnessRacesinOrbit: Wouldn't the primary issue with this be that you do not know how long it will take (and you can only guess based on what you consider a small enough file size, even though the user's network connection might have a slightly different opinion on the matter)?

Jul 28, 2015 at 8:27 comment added PlasmaHH Oh how do I want to punch everyone into the face that makes me wait a bit longer. I had once an upload application that had a ~1.5s "upload finished" animation per file, and then I selected hundreds of small files that all were transferred in fractions a second, and then waited in anger for all the animations to finish.
Jul 28, 2015 at 8:25 comment added BlueWizard I dont see a problem in this. I wouldn't artificial strech it. Everyone loves fast up- and downloadspeed. When I input a small file I immediately see "Upload completed" which is every information. This is my opinion about this
