was about a minute. I thought that zypper had hung.

Luckily, zypper already uses progress indication code almost everywhere, so adding it to this process shouldn't be difficult.

I also feel the need for it sometimes when the dynamically assigned mirror is not fast enough and zypper take more than 5 minutes not having progress makes it hard to decide one should wait or go with --no-refresh flag. Yast has progress of how much metedata of a repo is downloaded in progress bar.

As during package downloading the progress bar has that info i would be nice to have it also for repos auto refresh .
