As a developer I hate these values and estimates, but I also agree that there is no good way to calculate the future. The honest would be “working” - but everyone asks for percentages and estimates.
You could write “estimating” for about a minute or so and then give a reasonable estimation.
I made once a download estimate infinity.
Suspended the pc and over 20 hours later turned it on again. Since it calculated 20 hours no download it assumed it would take infinity to download it all
