Case in point, one of the files is throwing a request timeout. Google unilaterally controls both ends of this connection. They cannot configure a timeout correctly when knowing the exact size of the file and the properties and traffic of the server. They could choose one of their own new fancy pants transport protocols for Fuck's Sake, it's two of their programs talking to each other. I hate this company.

It turns out the component manager view does show download progress, it's only the initial setup which prepares THE SAME COMPONENT MANAGER with a reasonable preset that doesn't relay this information.
It also downloads some of the largest components in the component manager, tallying up to a 5 gigabyte initial setup, downloaded upfront with no progress logging.

Only Android Developers will feels this shit 😐
Trust Google. Trust the Process.
The Android Studio Installer doesn't show download progress bars, speeds, ETAs or the size of files being downloaded. I hate this design. Tell me exactly what, why, and where is being downloaded so that I can download it myself with a better HTTP large file client, put it where you want it, and restart the installer. I know my machine and ISP and Google does not. I don't trust Google to make a single right decision, and I only want to relinquish control when I don't have time to do something myself.
