Progress bars on all downloads

Hi Tom!

A convenience thing. Not critical.
When you download the contest cheat database a load progress bar shows up. This doesn't happen when you download any of the other databases (LotW/eQSL users, DXCC data, well anything in the Online menu). From a consistency perspective I think it would be good if we got progress bars for all the downloads. But again, not critical.

Ton.

Contest Cheat database: ca. 29 Mb
LoTW users: ca. 800 kB
eQSL users; ca. 900 kB

Do you see the difference?

There is a progress indication above the Station Info Box for the DXCC database. This has a historical reason, earlier it took one minute to process the data. I optimised it a bit.

Fair enough. Was just a suggestion. Agree that it doesn't make sense to let a progress bar pop up for 0.2 second.
