don't use the wheel, find a more telling symbol.
We know we are trying to
* indicate progress of user-initiated downloads
* indicate progress of large file-writes (Gimp, Blender, Audacity/Ardour,
SoundConverter, PiTiVi etc..)
* indicate progress of file operations (Nautilus app indicator already
exists for this)

a) How would we represent these in one word?
Progress?
b) How would this word / category be represented in a visual symbol?
for this we have some reference already:
1. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/SymbolicIcons
2. http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Design/Research/StatusIndicators

the gearwheel is strongly disputable, please offer some opinions!
