My ProgressBar is starting late, when I try to download BIG file (600MB).
For Small files its okay.

C#

private void Form_Load()
{
    backGroundWorker.RunWorkerAsync();
    Count();
    Download();
}

Count()
{
    count++;
    //Files count
}

Download()
{
    download++;
    //File Download
}

{
    int percents=((download*100)/count);
    backGroundWorker.ReportProgress(percents,download);
}

How many files? How do you download? FTP? I did somethings like this once. I had also the information of the downloaded bytes for each file.
Maybe you make two progressbar:
- First progressbar where you see progress of each files (downloaded bytes of total bytes of one file)
- Second progressbar where you progress (files downloaded from)

Your approach has the bad affect, that if you download 100 files and the first ist 100MB and the rest is only 1MB, you will wait long for the first file.

Yes, I am downloading using FTPwebrequest, First file is 600Mb, which is taking too much time.
then all small files are going fine, How can i show progress for each file (downloaded bytes of total bytes of one file)

I used http://www.enterprisedt.com/products/edtftpnet/overview.html

Do you implement the request like http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/443588/Simple-Csharp-FTP-Class?

Maybe an approach is to work with events, but I'm not shure if there is a better way.
