@woozle probably not useful for a whole web browser, which is practically guaranteed to be loading page elements in parallel, but for apps that need to occasionally download a single file, it could work

@rnd ...or they could go full-metal-ADHD-stim on it, and add an indicator for each operation currently underway. (...with, of course, a right-click option to view the more detailed log available in most major browsers.)

The large and small circles make for a perspective view of things, where the larger one is actually the same size, just closer. So, the packet leaving it would be "sending" 😄
