+It seems problimatic to have json progress for both downloading the file
+and for checksumming it. I don't know how that json would look.
+
+In the meantime, though, git-annex has changed to checksum files while they
+are being downloaded from most remotes, and when it can do that, fsck
+--from avoids the separate checksumming step.
+
+While some special remotes do not support that, it's a very limited list:
+only bittorrent on linux, and adb, external, gcrypt, hook, and rsync on
+other OSs.
+
+This makes me think that complicating the json output to display two
+different kinds of progress is probably not worth the complication.
