Hey, at least we're not dealing with a physical software library here. Can you imagine having to go to the stacks and physically check the shelves? 'Yep, still 7,700 books, we're good!'

I wonder if the ServiceNow devs have a special handshake they do to confirm the download is complete. Gotta keep those secrets under lock and key, you know.

B seems like it might just tell me if the process has started, not necessarily if it's completed. I'd go with C to get the full picture.

D seems like a bit of a hack, but it could work in a pinch. I wonder if there's a more reliable way to track the download progress.
