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

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have resolved this bug.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
