So...is there any way to see your total download/install progress or no? It says 91.36GB on the right of the progress bar but that number seems static, the progress bar itself is just flashing showing the download rate of smaller files which are completing pretty much instantly. Doesn't seem like there's any way to know how far along I am in the entirety of the download.
