What's Wrong?

Subj.
Stop vibe coding so much and start using brain.
Installer downloads many hundreds of megabytes of whatever.
It may take hours or even days on some slow connections.
99% of usa will have to stare at blank nothing for 20-40 minutes.

What Should Happen?

Show something, a progress bar or just how many bytes are here and how many pending
