After pulling down a few updates last night, I had a thought that it would be handy if up2date told the user how big each package that it's going to download (maybe during an 'up2date -l'?) and the progess bars when the actual download is going state something like 'package name #### 120k/sec 1:02 left 2.8/10Mb'
At present, from using the up2date cmd line, there's no way to tell how big the packages are - unless I'm overlooking a simple option (possible!)..
