1. Is it possible for Update Check to run everytime we run TBB? Will it take too much time?
Possible in theory. Would take a few seconds. check.tpo may not be reachable at some times. Not implemented. TBB checks its own version at reasonable intervals. You'll be informed by a blinking TorButton icon when it's outdated.
2. Is it possible to display download speed (kb/s) and remaining time (m:s) when downloading Tor Browser?
In terminal by using: update-torbrowser --ordinary
3. Is it possbile to display site location "Downloading Tor Browser from $ActualDownloadURL
In terminal by using: update-torbrowser

Can 2 & 3 be made default in GUI? IMO better than just “Downloading. Please wait”.

2 would be a nice new feature. I don’t know how to implement it. Possible to implement in theory, of course. I would be happy if someone could contribute it.

3 I see this as an unnecessary additional information that may add confusion, I am happy to hear arguments why that would be useful, though. It could be made available by a simple patch and new optional setting in /etc/whonix.d, whatever that would be worth. Perhaps adding a details button that expands the details would be useful, but then again, I don’t know how to implement it. Possible to implement in theory, of course. I would be happy if someone could contribute it.
