      During iftw install through regular or no proxy settings, a message stating 'Copying new files' is shown to the user (see attached file webcache.jpg). This is incorrect as the files are not being copied from a local location but instead are being downloaded from a remote host. Since the copying is over the network, the message should be changed appropriately to inform the user that there is some network activity happening.

      STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
      1. Point the browser to http://sqeweb.sfbay/deployment3/tiger/iftw_2004-03-11-00-16-jre/
      2. Set your proxy settings to webcache.sfbay.sun.com port 8080 (Do not use an authenticated proxy!)
      3. Click on the link j2re-1_5_0-windows-i586-iftw.exe.
      4. Click on the downloaded file to start the installation.
      5. Accept the license and move on to the installation. When the installer has to download files from the web it shows a window similar to the one in the attached file webcache.jpg. This simply shows that files are being copied. It does not mention that the files are being downloaded from the web. A user might be tempted to think that the download is complete and would disconnect the internet connection.

      EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR:
      The message should tell the user that files are being downloaded. Moreover, a progress bar with the time remaining for the download should be shown to the user.
