Description Alexander van Loon 2013-11-10 09:49:15 UTC 
Description of problem:
This has been bothering me for a longer time already, but I still see it in the Fedora 20 alpha. Both the "Software" and the "Software Update" applications, which are part of the gnome-packagekit package if I remember correctly, don't show any information on the download speed and how much of the updates has been downloaded already. "Software Update" does show the file size of all the selected updates, but that's all.

Right now my laptop with a fresh Fedora 20 alpha is downloading 614.2 MB of updates over a relatively slow ADSL connection. Without any information on progress I haven't got the slightest idea when it will finish. Because of this I use yum on the terminal to update most of the time because that does give me a progress indication. 

Expected results:
Both "Software" and "Software Update" should show the size of the updates to be downloaded. When the download starts, they should probably show the download speed, the amount of data currently downloaded, the total amount of data to be downloaded and a percentage indicating the progress.

Actually I think "Software Update" had frozen entirely. I waited for probably more than 15 minutes for it to do something. After that time there was still no progress bar to show that it was downloading something, so I decided to quit and use yum to update through the terminal. Because yum completed in no more than 10 minutes I suspect "Software Update" was doing something wrong.
Comment 2 Alexander van Loon 2013-11-10 13:18:39 UTC 
After the update I noticed that GNOME Software now replaces these two applications. I assume these will then be deprecated and no longer maintained, so I filed https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=711774 and closed this bug.
