This sounds like an acceptable compromise. I'd be happy with this.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. Regardless of your bandwidth,
if the dialog disappears then I can safely assume (at the very least) that
no errors occurred. As far as a commit goes, this is all I care about. I
don't really care about each individual step. And besides, if the progress
is really going to take that long due to bandwidth then I must have plenty
of time to watch the progress since the dialog wouldn't be closing anytime
soon. Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are saying?
