>I’m using the ActiveX Internet Transfer Control (InetCtrls) to do an FTP download as part of a “Live Update” program. Since the file that will be downloaded is fairly large (3-4 Meg) I really need a thermometer to show the download’s progress.

I remember fiddling with ITC and progress bars a long time ago. Never got it (I didn't try to hard though), but wwIPStuff has an FTP class with a method that lets you do this.
