Research direction

Start by locating the download handling and the existing rmtree/unlink feedback behavior referenced in the issue. Trace how a download waits, then verify that a waiting message appears only after five seconds while quick downloads remain quiet.

Description

enhancement

We normally don't show any message when we start downloading a file (because it would be noisy, e.g. reading a chain of index.jsons), but if the download takes more than 5 seconds we should print something to indicate that we're waiting. This is like what we do with rmtree/unlink.
