How it eas before:

To me it's not endless, but it's very slow!
And I don't know why because nothing else than that useless progress bar is shown.
I don't know if it's my network connection.
I don't know if it's the server's network connection.
There are no pings, no hops, no countries, no download speeds shown.
Even command line Apt is much more useful and generous with information.

This is as bad as Windows' updater!

Well that's probably the reason, at least for your case. I guess we should show a better error message here.

John, if you're seeing it be slow but not infinite, then you're encountering a different issue.

No, that's not the reason. Everything was fine before the update. Also, this is just apt warning, not a critical malfunction.
