10% completion

How would you write the following sentence?
The file is only 10 percent to completion the other is 40 percent to completion but since the latter is heavier, it'll complete 100 after the first file.

Thank you

I have a problem here with basic understanding of what you are describing. At first I thought this was about copying or processing files on a computer, but then I hit the word "heavier", which makes no sense with that interpretation. Unless "heavier" is just supposed to mean "larger"??

Don't you say that a file is heavy or large?

That is what I mean

How would you write the sentence?

It depends what sort of file you are talking about, which you did not confirm.

In that case "heavier" is the wrong word. You could say:

This download is 10 percent complete. The other is 40 percent complete, but it's a larger file and this one should finish first.
