when you provide --progress to ipfs pin add, you get the following updates:

$ ipfs pin add --progress /ipns/hpkg.haiku-os.org
Fetched/Processed 8353 nodes
.
Fetched/Processed 8540 nodes

If ipfs pin add is unable to find a chunk, it just sits indefinitely waiting for it.

Just sitting at "Fetched/Processed 8353 nodes" leaves the user with a mystery of what's happening.
I've never seen IPFS want more than 10 or 15 chunks at a time, so there must be a limit on number of lines needed.

Docker does something similar in breaking container images intro chunks... maybe this UI could use some improvement? Here's an example:
c212fce-skil_docker_pull_image

obviously showing every CID isn't realistic, but showing the CID's that are in an active "want" state would be a great way to show activity.

The user is already asking for "verbose" information on what's happening via --progress, it feels like IPFS could be providing a lot more information on what it's doing. (searching, downloading, etc)
