Looking for the progression bar when downloading data

Question

We are accessing firefox via a compression software, Xgate. The data we download most is a shortened version of the 4day weather charts. There is a way to lower the quality of the detail( a bloke showed us but he is no longer available), but we can't find it. it was a movable bar which could be adjusted with the mouse. Please help At present the page continually upgrades until it is perfect. Less than perfect will do for our needs.
Regards,
Dai.

Hi,,,,
Double # (##) means the file is tab delimited.
When you download the file from application server use cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab to split fields into separate variables.
Using this variable populate a ITAB then upload it to presentation server.
      CLEAR: p_l_string.
      READ DATASET p_fname INTO p_l_string.
    EOF reached
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        EXIT.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR: wa_final,
               l_length.
        IF  l_count <> '1'.
            SPLIT p_l_string AT c_tab INTO wa_final-char_c
                                           wa_final-value
                                           wa_final-desc
                                           wa_final-ldesc.
            IF wa_final-char_c IS NOT INITIAL.
              l_char_c = wa_final-char_c.
            ENDIF.
            wa_final-char_c = l_char_c.
            APPEND wa_final TO  i_final.
          ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
