[Bug 1399838] [NEW] request for more user friendly progress feedback during network downloads

[Alexandros Prekates]

Public bug reported:

During installation if 14.04 from a dvd i choose 'download updates' and download the extras for mp3 etc...
After many minutes in the same screeen i thougth that installation hunged.  i tried from a virt console to watch 
/var/log/syslog but not interested info found.

I tried again not selecting the aforementioned options and installation
procced to the next time.

That day internet connection on my school lab was little unstable so i
guess the low speed internet must caused tha hung.

In that case i'd like pleace a) a progress bar in that stage displaying
bytes downloaded of bytes to download and time remaining and b) if time
is big to have a frienldy suggestion for alts . eg: from a full dvd to
not need internet etc.
