Measurement ideas
Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether url normalization notes changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.
If you publish changelogs, reference guide #871 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.
When to show estimated time remaining
Indeterminate spinners frustrate users on slow mobile networks. If your backend can expose progress, a rough percentage or stage label (“fetching metadata”) calms uncertainty.
Fake timers that reset forever destroy trust faster than silence—avoid them.
