As the size of spec test files increases in every release (from ~670MB for v1.4.0 to ~780MB for v1.5.0-alpha.3), it takes 20+ minutes for me to download all files.
Currently downloading spec test provides minimal log output on the download progress. Only at the beginning of download, and when the download is finished, which could be 10-20 minutes apart. It would be great to provide more info (eg. a progress bar, download time remaining) during download such that users/devs know what to expect. Here is a sample log of the current behaviour:
Moreover, partially downloaded files are deleted when reattempting to download spec test. This is an issue when having slow and unstable internet, a user may already have downloaded general and minimal spec tests, but internet drops when downloading mainnet. When he runs yarn download-spec-tests again, general and minimal are deleted and everything is being re-downloaded.
