I was thinking lately, and I found that a 
client.downloaded
variable would be very useful... here is how it would work: 
mob/Login()
   ..()
   loc=locate(130,200,4) //Login screen center
   while(!client.downloaded) //The variable I am asking for.
      sleep(40)
      for(var/obj/loading/O in client.screen) break
      if(O)
         if(O.invisible)   O.invisible=0
         else   O.invisible=1
         //Give it a flashing effect
   //After they downloaded
   for(var/obj/new/N in client.screen) break
   N.invisible=0
   for(var/obj/continue/C in client.screen) break
   C.invisible=0
    //Allow them to continue

I know this should be pretty simple, all you would have to do is check the currently downloading value with the maximum download value (About the same way the download measurement bar at the bottom of DS works) and convert it to a True(1) or False(0) value. This would be very helpful for attempts at professional title screens and login through client.screen... So please consider.
