Bug Description
If I kick off an image copy from a remote store to my local one I get zero indication of progress; lxc just sits there silently for 90s until the copy finishes. This seems like a bad user experience. There isn't even a --verbose or similar type option.

Hi,
Yes, there are a number of operations for which we used to lack progress information entirely which made this impossible.
Recently, I've implemented the events API and updated most download paths within LXD to expose progress information back to the client (by increment of 10% to avoid flooding them with events), our default client however doesn't yet use this information.
Our focus is currently on a few big and complex features that we want to land before feature freeze (remainder of resource limits and native simplestream support) but I'm hopeful we'll get some time to fix some of those rough edges in the command line client in time for 16.04.
