NOTE In case the file size is not available, the bar is shown as indefinite, in which case the icon_left by default space(" ").

Other examples

In case you want to experiment with the progress bar's icons, here's some examples.

This is when I passed icon_done as # and icon_left as space.
In case a file's size is not available from the server, the progressbar is indefinite.
