Using a UIProgressBar to display status of a download

Question

Does anyone have a link to a good tutorial about using a UIProgessBar in iOS to display the status of a download? I wouldn't have a problem even taking the total download size and inserting an if statement that states if (downloaded "x" megabytes), then add 0.1 to the progress bar. Thanks for your help!

ASIHTTPRequest is no longer maintained by its author. You may want to look at MBProgressHUD instead.

You need to break this up into managable pieces. First look into how to do downloading. Something I expect would invole a trip into multitreading. Then once you have some basic code doing that, look into dealing with interface objects from background threads. This will give you the info you need as to how to best update displays.
