Bulk work in the file browser used to be something you had to sit still for.

• •A real progress bar. The total is worked out before the first object is copied, so the bar measures the actual job rather than guessing.
• •One job for a whole selection. Select a mix of files and folders and it is one piece of work with one bar, not one per item.
• •Walk around the app. The bar lives above the page, so a 40-minute copy keeps running and keeps reporting while you use the rest of BucketPilot. Refresh the browser, or close the tab and come back, and it is still there.
• •It survives losing the machine that was running it. These operations are now recorded as work in progress rather than living inside one process. If the process running yours goes away, another picks the job up and skips everything that already landed — checked against your storage, not against our own count, so nothing is copied twice and nothing is missed.

There is no size threshold any more: three files can be three gigabytes, so everything gets the same treatment.

One number for the last of those: a routine deploy in the middle of a transfer used to freeze the progress bar for about ten minutes. It is now three seconds.
