Description
**What are you trying to do?**
I'm on a slow mobile internet connection (on a train) at the minute. I'm trying to launch a `focal` VM. But the connection is flaky and I don't know if it's likely to be able to download the image.
**What's your proposed solution?**
Show some combination of the total size / amount remaining to be downloaded / current download rate / estimated time left, so that I know what's going on. Maybe it's flapping up and down (actually, pretty sure it is) - would be good to be able to see that somehow.
Probably wants some design input :-)
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the image-download entry point used when launching a focal VM, then trace how download progress is reported. Done means the user can see download size or remaining amount, current rate, and/or estimated time while the image downloads, including changing network speed.
