User Story:
As an osu! supporter, I want an indicator to be placed near my name in a multiplayer lobby when I am downloading a beatmap via osu!direct, so other players in the lobby can be aware of my download's progress.

---

I think it would be nice to have a percentage indicator in multiplayer lobbies so that people can know my download progress without me having to tell them or without kicking me right before my download is finished because they think I'm going to take forever.

I'm guessing there aren't that many supporters, but I think this would be a pretty nice perk. Pretty much every time someone is downloading a beatmap, the lobby host or other players will ask what percent the download is at.

Super low priority, but a thought.

What's wrong with hovering the mouse over the right and saying how much % you have? i dont see a good reason for this so no support

Yes yes yes. This way we can also see if they are actually downloading it too.

Support but..... As a supporter... don't you already have fast enough download speeds...? ._.

It's the non-supporters that take forever, and there isn't really a way of determining how finished they are...

like i said in my original post, it's not an important feature request by any means. it'd just be a neat thing to have. i think everyone can agree that adding it wouldn't hurt anything, but that adding it should be something that's done well after just about every other practical feature request in this forum.

Would be awesome to get a progress bar for players so I can actually see if they are downloading the map instead of wondering if they are just afk wasting everyone's time. Or for the players that speak a language I don't understand I will at least know they are in progress of getting the map.

It is a good idea BUT only doable for supporters downloading via osu!direct.
There is no-way (not what I would think) to map a beatmap downloading from a browser.

A feature like this will be good yeah

For non-supporter players, a different colour can be displayed once they click on the download link. If the player downloaded too much and need to wait, a message should be displayed next to their name eg "This player cannot download for another 300s." The host/someone else can provide a bloodcat link at this point if necessary, instead of wasting everyone's time.

If I remember well this is a duplicate or maybe that one was just a bit similar. o.o

Well some other users like me don't have really fast download speeds. I've been a supporter once though !direct was a bit faster. =w=

I think this could work.

Nice idea! Shouldn't be to hard to implement.

How can it work with everyone? I'm really wondering what solution you are thinking about.

Im thinking about the beatmap ID. When the non supporter clicks on the big download beatmap button, it will show the progress bar to the multiplayer lobby.

Another possibility would be having a button on osu!direct that announces your progress for you
