In case you’ve been living under a rock, Apple has released many apps in Mac App Store which are over 3 GB or 4 GB also.

If you’ve started downloading those hefty apps, you can only see a progress bar under the App Icon and also it takes a lot longer to download. Luckily, there’s a way to at least see your App download progress, which many of you won't have noticed.



You’ll notice that when you start your download, all you get is a little blue progress bar under the app icon in your Mac’s dock. That’s hardly sufficient if you need to see how much time is left for your download to finish.

If you head over to the Purchases tab in the Mac App Store, you can see a list of all the purchased content you’ve downloaded. Once you buy the app, you can hop over to this tab and watch the time estimate of how long until the download finishes.
