Well, with *big* rpms (openoffice.org comes to mind), no, it just takes too long for the bar to change.

It's not always intuitive to correlate the slow download rate with the fact a failover occurred 50 packages before - especially if yum is running in a term one is only casually monitoring. > > More than cryptic messages users hate stuff that seems stuck doing > > nothing.

It's not really stuck - it just has the appearance of being stuck, since sometime nothing changes for a long time. Just like a stupid hourglass cursor, having changing stuff gives the users the warm feeling something is going on, even when the actual download rate is exactly the same as if there were no reporting at all.
