JProgressBar.

Make sure that you do the download in a different thread using
SwingWorker.

Google. Given that you posted via Google Groups I'll assume that you know how to
use it. Look at the archives for the comp.lang.java newsgroups and you'll find
plenty of information on using progress bars.

Read the Java Tutorials, particularly:

What you need is a download servlet that send the file to the browser
while updating a bytes send / file size ratio.

The download page then calls another servlet or JSP that displays
that progress either via an iframe with refresh or some JavaScript
(AJAX style).

No probably not. I should have read the message. I saw progressbar and my
mind didn't think about it much more. Would work with an applet though.
