The progress bar is in terms of number of packages. Since yum downloads small packages first, progress appears to slow down over the course of the operation.
I have a related issue. I ran a PackageKit update today and it downloaded this RPM, which is 184 MB in size: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/updates/9/i386.newkey/texlive-texmf-doc-2007-24.fc9.noarch.rpm The progress bar did not change over the course of the 40-minute download, so I suspected a problem with my Internet connection until I saw that the RPM file under /var/yum/cache was slowly growing. I think the progress bar should show progress within a file. This may be convenient to fix along with basing the progress bar on file size. Please tell me if I should enter this as a separate bug.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
does have anymore question about this bug? Development? Reporter? If anyone won't reply in one month, I will close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
The bug's not in NEEDINFO. What makes you think there's insufficient data?
Sorry, insufficient data was wrong, I'm just to keep alive this bug. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Richard, is this still an issue? -- Steven M. Parrish - KDE Triage Master - PackageKit Triager Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Since F10 is nearing EOL going to rebase this to Rawhide. Richard any comments on this issue?
Is the issue known to still exist in rawhide? I thought the point of the bug expiration process was to put the onus on the reporter to check that a newer Fedora version is affected before bumping the bug to that version.
Can't reproduce this bug in F12, the reporter can confirm still happening? And this should not be rebased to rawhide without any recent update from the reporter.

Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
