E.g. about 5% through the file data, the progress bar shows ~40%



It races ahead during the first file, and then consumes the remaining space in approximately correct proportion. "... Remaining" shows similar inaccuracy.

Here's a capture of a different comparison showing the same effect at approx 15% of file space:

The progress bar isn't just showing the progress for the FTP transfers, it's also showing progress for the content comparisons.

I never assumed it was.

As is evident from the fact it says "Comparing...".

Still it would be nice if it was a bit more accurate.
