Small setup.exe suggestion

Would it be possible to add some progress info on downloading ?
Some files are very big and if connection is bad it ca take quite long to
download it !
A simple XX% at the end of
downloading xxx;tar.gz
would be enough to let people know that the setup program is really working
and
that the connection is not dead.
A second suggestion, but that might be much more work would be an
option that would create a listing of all available packages
with the status of the currently locally available.
This would for instance inform you that there is a newer bash version
if you type "setup -l" (or any other option if this onee is already used.
Other than that I find this program really good,
its so simple to upgrade a package.
Thanks for CygWin.
