+### ::setConcurrentInfo()
+
+Sets the text that is written below the progress bar that can be updated while the process is continuing.
+
+For example, the text could track which file is currently being downloaded during a multi-file synchronous download process.
+
+```js
+const currentFile = filenames[i];
+<instance>.setConcurrentInfo(`   --> Downloading ${currentFile}...`);
+```
+
+Concurrent Info example:

+
+### ::clearCurrentInfo()
+
+Clears any concurrent text written below the progress bar.
+
+```js
+<instance>.clearConcurrentInfo();
