Description Juho 2021-01-11 14:58:26 UTC

SUMMARY
"Fetching updates" view needs more progress information

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Discover
2. Fetching updates view stays out 1 minute without progress monitor


EXPECTED RESULT
1. Open Discover
2. Fetching updates show better what it is doing, maybe it should tell what mirror it's analyzing and how many to go until all is  checked

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Neon, 5.20.5

Yeah, I agree.

Ideally it wouldn't take forever, but given that it often does, more information is better than less.

In my case, Fetching updates .....  is an infinite process.

UpdatesPage: Improve feedback when refreshing

Show which backends are still refreshing, hopefully making the wait more
meaningful.
