Feature request: watchdog - fetch phase additional info #218

Sometimes Synth seems to stuck of some phases. Once, It happened to get stuck on the checksum phase. But what I miss most is the information for the fetch phase, and specifically information on download speed, download completion whether in percentage or file size.

I never know if the file I'm currently downloading will download for another 1 minute or 1 hour. So it does indeed look like sometimes it's stuck or seems like it's stuck. Often makes me wonder whether it is not worth interrupting the compilation and resuming it again at another time. Or that something actually stuck. Adding such information, would improve the understanding of what is currently happening. And whether everything is ok.

I know that Synth is in bug-fix maintenance mode but nevertheless. It's worth leaving a request. btw. I love the tool, which is ideal for desktop environments as a simpler solution than Poudriere.
