On a Mac, there are two ways to keep an eye on the progress of a download. For files being downloaded from the Mac App Store, the easiest way to check their progress is by mousing over the Launchpad icon in the Dock. You'll see a progress bar below the Launchpad icon and above the number of megabytes currently downloaded and the total file size.
Alternatively, since you already have the Mac App Store open when downloading a file from it, you can also keep an eye on downloads from within its confines. For new apps, you'll need to click through to an app's page. The details of downloads is available in the console app as well as if you use a shell to tail he contents of the install log file. The level of detail is excellent, progress and time estimates are given quite regularly.
The other answers to use the graphical interface all match the text based data from this source and logging process. In the Console app, search for 'storedownload' to filter by progress messages. This is where progress status is logged fairly verbosely by default.
I was similarly unable to find active download progress. The unlabeled circular progress bar was not cutting it. Sign up to join this community.

Learn more. Asked 3 years ago. No problem. I changed the Ethernet connection to my Mac Pro running Mojave. No change. Constant dignging about the Internet being in and out continued. You couldn't click on the alert. I saw no icon in the menu bar, but I took note of it's icon in the alert and found the app. No way to directly trash it because it was running. But no way to stop it running until I had the idea of finding it in my Activity Monitor as a process and quitting the process.
Then I was able to delete the app. Thanks for taking the time to share the review and rating Internet Status App. Could you please reach out to our support team at support appyogi. We will be happy to assist you. Thank you. All you need to do is have an active download from the Mac App Store, then hover your cursor over the Launchpad icon in the Dock.
This Launchpad method of watching download progress only works for apps arriving from the App Store to the Mac, whereas users can watch file downloads from the web and elsewhere through the Downloads folder icon in the Dock.
