Bug Description
While testing indicator-transfer for bug #1378941, I found that ubuntu-
A download for 7digital.com sent out ~10 progress signals per second, which was the root cause of #1378941 (though there was enough blame to spread around, indicator-transfer amplified these signals by updating its own menus and action states on the bus in response :-)
Is this 'progress' flood intentional and/or necessary?

At the moment we are sending the progress signal every time the buffer from the reply is written to disk, so atm, it is intentional but I can certainly add some euristic.. maybe just send the progress after x bytes or x % (we cannot do a single value since we want to send progress for small files).
What do you think would be the best approach regarding the transfer indicator?
