📄 Description

Progress bar during downloading of followers or followings, to provide additional information, since this can take awhile. If someone is having challenges keeping their instagram login from not getting flagged, this is helpful because it shows what is going on.

extract_usernames_safely is more elaborate than needed. It could just return a # of names, but I am also using this routine to log write the names to a log, so I didn't remove passing back the names.

Example while in progress:

Timestamp:              Thu 01 Jan 2026, 11:45:03
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
* Followers (188) loaded from file 'instagram_xxx.json' (01 Jan 26, 11:08)

* Followings (4269) loaded from file 'instagram_xxx.json' (31 Dec 25, 20:17)
* Followings number changed by user xxx from 4269 to 4281 (+12)
* Downloading Followings:  31%|██████████████▎                               | 1336/4281 [11 names/req, reqs=116, mins=11.2, remain=25.1]

Example after initial loading of script:

* Followers (187) loaded from file 'instagram_XXX_followers.json' (31 Dec 25, 09:36)
* Followers number changed for user XXX from 187 to 188 (+1)
* Downloading Followers: 100%|█████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 188/188 [9 names/req, reqs=19, mins=1.7, remain=0.0]
* Followers saved to file 'instagram_XXX_followers.json'

* Followings (4266) loaded from file 'instagram_XXX_followings.json' (31 Dec 25, 09:36)
* Followings number changed by user XXX from 4266 to 4267 (+1)
* Downloading Following: 100%|███████████████████████████████████████████████▉| 4266/4267 [11 names/req, reqs=378, mins=34.4, remain=0.0]
* Followings saved to file 'instagram_XXX_followings.json'

The only oddity is if an instaloader error occurs, which can cause the following. It's not a big deal, but I'd prefer to be able to filter those out.
