+## Download progress
+
+A basic application that asynchronously downloads a dummy file of 100 MB and tracks the download progress.
+
+The example implements a custom `Subscription` in the __[`download`](src/download.rs)__ module. This subscription downloads and produces messages that can be used to keep track of its progress.

+  </a>
+</div>
+
+You can run it with `cargo run`:
+
+```
+cargo run --package download_progress
+```
