Answer 2

You can implement your own download progress system, or a simpler alternative that avoids reinventing the wheel would be to use the excellent ASIHTTPRequest library that provides you with a delegate method for getting the progress of a current download. It's also rather well documented: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/

Answer 3

Since you need some real code to start with, here are a few hints.

• Drag and drop the ASIHTTPRequest package into your project.
• Since what you want is download images from the internet, you only need to deal with one class in the ASI package, the ASIHTTPRequest class.
• Read the ASIHTTPRequest.h file closely before you start. It has every interface you need.
• Specifically, pay attention to these two methods, you will have to override them to get real-time download statistics.

.

- (void)request:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request incrementDownloadSizeBy:(long long)newLength;
- (void)request:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request didReceiveBytes:(long long)bytes;
