This was helpful.. Thanks!

Good stuff!
I had an issue after downloading a file I couldn't move it to another folder because of the following error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. and realised you probably need to file.Close(). I also moved os.Open(path) outside of the for loop.

Now it looks something like this:

func PrintDownloadPercent(done chan int64, path string, total int64) {
	var stop bool = false
        file, err := os.Open(path)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
        defer file.Close()
	for {
		select {
		case <-done:
			stop = true
		default:
			fi, err := file.Stat()
			if err != nil {
				log.Fatal(err)
			}

			size := fi.Size()
			if size == 0 {
				size = 1
			}

			var percent float64 = float64(size) / float64(total) * 100
			fmt.Printf("%.0f", percent)
			fmt.Println("%")
		}

		if stop {
			break
		}
		time.Sleep(time.Second)
	}
}

Nice one =). Thanks for sharing
