From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0; DigExt) Description of problem: I think up2date-nox could do with being able to show the current file in download along side it's progress bar. For people on a slow connection this is not much help determining remaining time (REAL remaining time, not the built in estimate, as it is never correct on choppy links like ISDN..): ########################## Done. ########################## Done. ########################## Done. # 7 k/sec, 00:10:02 rem. but perhaps: grip-9.5-3 [##########] Done. kdebase-2.2-4 [###### ] est time left [5 months 6 days...] I really think this would be a BIG improvment on this fantastic program, if I could just look at my ssh and then at the list of updates I'd alreddy printed/saved and think, "oh, half way down the list then" then it would be better than "2 hours 8 minuts? I wonder if it MEENS that this time.." Cheers! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. . 2. . 3. . Actual Results: .

I agree. Please add filenames and some sort of progress meter. I spent over an hour yesterday wondering how long the process would take. There is currently no indicator of filenames and/or % complete, which can be frustrating when you're on a time constraint. (i.e. Should I up2date install for convenience, or find the CD, mount, install? -- or -- Do I have time to grab a bite to eat before I can access my RPM database again?)
Sorry, one tiny question, is that "7 k/sec" kilobits or kilobytes?
Erm, not a clue, but my average speed on up2date has often been 7kbps as with any "fast download" on my isdn. So it must be KBPS? Bloody best be!
Those stats should be showing in kilobytes/sec.
The next version of the client will show the names of the packages alongside the hashes again. (already does so in cvs...)

However, you still get only hash marks if the packages are already in /var/spool/up2date.
okay, this should be fixed for local packages as well in CVS now.
shouldn't this be closed?
closed, old. 99% of original rfe is done, as I understand it. If not, open a new bug.
