Good stuff!
Replying to [comment:3 catalyst]:
> Right now there is a gap (from 20 to 40) between these two phases, but
we don't currently fill it in with incremental progress in downloading the
consensus. Maybe we should?
A thought for this part in particular: incremental progress at fetching
descriptors can be confirmed as we go (we verify that we got the bytes we
wanted). But if we try to show incremental progress at fetching a
consensus, but then we get it and we don't like it, we'll find ourselves
going backwards in bootstrap progress. Not the end of the world but maybe
something to avoid getting ourselves into if we can.
But most importantly of all: this particular incremental-progress dilemma
can be totally deferred until everything else is done and in place. :)
