Downloading library build, takes very long, progress bar?

[janjongboom]

On an Mbed 2 project I'm running mbed deploy.

Then it says:

[mbed] Downloading library build "a330f0fddbec" (might take a while)

It's been doing this for over 10 minutes already. I have a very fast internet connection (200 mbps). What is it doing and can I have a progress bar similar to when we clone Mbed OS?

@janjongboom Good suggestion. We could have a progress bar to indicate to users "get a cup of coffee".

This might be caused by this instead:

We might get a rush of users encountering this bug as soon as Ubuntu switches from python2 to pyhon3 by default.
