These are all good suggestions, I will add them to the wish list.

The downloading related information you are asking for is available on
the Program Status report, at least once logs have been processed.
Similarly, the version number is on the main page. Obviously these are
not as convenient, but it is possible to get the information.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
