Description

Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? Feature request. Not substantial (as far as I can guess).

What is the current behavior? After running yarn install, yarn reports on the time taken by the installation - Done in Xs.

What is the (desired) behavior? It should also report on the bandwidth usage.

I'm on a bandwidth budget, and I decided to adopt yarn after learning that it actually uses the local cache, without the user having to resort to odd hacks (as in this npm issue).

I suspect that there are others who switched for the same reason. This feedback is useful for us, and fits nicely with the current completion report.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify the network requests made during `yarn install`, then implement bandwidth tracking by measuring data transferred in the HTTP layer. Report the total at the end.
