Screenshots

It's not possible to download contentpack from network, weather through the UI or with kalite manage retrievecontentpack download. No error in the console or Terminal, but download does not proceed. Link seems correct, for the es.zip Spanish pack in the pantry, but still, nothing happens:

I'll clean up the issues regarding how the status of installed content packs is displayed when finalizing the part w/ empty content packs.

The actual issue is not that it doesn't work, it's that there's no feedback:

Notice that it took over 7 minutes - it's because Pantry is really slow at the moment.

I left it over half hour and it never moved from second step...
I'll re-try from Windows, and see if the result is similar!

Edited the description, let's deal with wrongful display of installed content packs in #5318

It's definitely a network problem, not much we can do about, a part from putting some form of feedback like you suggested. This morning re-try with ES took more than 6 minutes:

I can add that the unpack process should also give proper feedback. On a Raspberry Pi, it's impossible for the user to tell if the process is alive or has stalled. At least indicating the current number of files that have been successfully unpacked would be a start.

...and there's 52229 files in the current English content pack!
