When before a battle I downloading something bigger from another player (e.g. Tech) and it takes quite a long time then of course the other players write a little bit and subtitles begin to obscure the download bar as it is located in the exact location where is chat.
After some time, people naturally begin to ask, how many percentages is?, and I don't see them.  :|

The bar is a little visible, but the inscriptions (%) are unreadable.

Maybe might be worthwhile to move the download's bar to a place that is not obscures.

I noticed this issue in 3.7.1 version, I hadn't the possibility to test in the svn but I assume that it looks the same. ;)

I agree, it doesn't look nice.

Here's a screenshot:



As you can see, it's both that the chat log and download progress bars (and the text on them) overlap, as well as the progress bars themselves (one progress bar overlaps with another).

I think it would help to have the progress bars aligned to the right side of the screen (if you do, please also move the "Cancel downloads" button there and align it to the right, too). As you can see this space is usually empty. They could be compressed so as to take 50% of the width they do now, too, without loosing anything relevant.
