I agree to the concept but not to the wording, only experienced users will know
what "download and parse metadata" means.

Huh ? Are there products encoded in the URL ? ;-)

This would include checking of repo accessability - but requires network access.

Which is fine, if users are told "Checking repository ..."

Didn't we want to get rid of refresh/parse when starting package manager ?
