             Bug #: 32130
           Summary: Gecko and Mono downloaders should show the file size
                    and allow user to abort
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.16
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: markk at clara.co.uk
    Classification: Unclassified


When running Wine with a new/empty wineprefix directory, the user is prompted
to install Gecko and Mono.

However there is no indication of the size of those downloads or the amount of
disk space which they will occupy. There is also no way to abort a download in
progress.

Particularly when using dialup or metered (e.g. 3G) connections, the user might
choose not to install those components, if they knew how large the download
size is.

It would be good if Wine could tell the user the download size, the amount of
disk space required, and allow the user to abort downloads part-way through.
(Even if the user has no bandwidth or disk space concerns, they might
accidentally click Install. Even with a broadband connection the downloads take
quite a while.)
