 I wrote this plugin because I couldn't find an existing youtube likle loading bar plugin. In the retrospect I found out that there was one. However, this plugin was designed with completely different design decisions.
 Therefore it fundamentally differs in certain aspects. A small comparison: On the one side there is [nprogress](http://ricostacruz.com/nprogress/) which focuses more on the parts of being a progress bar. On the other side there is [ytLoad](http://ytload.mythli.net) which focuses more on visualizing ajax progress. Therefore it has build in support for ajax event handlers and can visualize multiple simultaneuous ajax requests by default. Beyond that the flexibility for progress bar like behaviour is also supported.
