[Request] Current downloading dialog is not helpful

Open jeffshee opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current downloading dialog is not helpful because it doesn't show the progress of the download and the estimated time required for the download. The download progress might take even longer if the user has a poor internet connection, which he/she could have stopped the download progress and retry it afterward. However, it is impossible with the current dialog implementation.

Describe the solution you'd like A download progress bar that shows the % of the files downloaded, with the estimated time. Also, a stop button might be helpful.

We are already aware of this but the current structure do not allow to pause/stop downloads. Also the percentage is not simple to implement as this process is going to install 3 different components: runner, dvxk, vkd3d. This may be possible (and easy) with a download manager of which Bottles is lack.

A good solution might be to provide an interactive log instead of the progress bar.

Could always have a percantage download calculation with average download speed and amount of bytes left.

Also, the ability to pause and resume afterwards is extremely important, some files are +500MB in size and any interruption of the download due to poor internet connection will stop the download, and then redownload the whole thing the next time you open the program.
