Description Dennis Nienhüser 2013-01-31 21:00:58 UTC

There used to be a download progress indicator during knewstuff installation in older KDE versions. This is pretty vital to Marble; we provide map themes via knewstuff that have sizes of 40 MB and more.
Nowadays knewstuff just shows a spinning circle while downloading stuff, so the ETA estimation is totally broken. I suspect many people abort installations because of that.


Reproducible: Always
