# Sixth Check-In

Hello there!

## What did I do last week?

It has been a quite fun week for me, given the current state of
development and the newly dicovered bugs thanks to pip 20.2 release:

* Initiate discussion with the maintainers of pip on isolating
  networking code for late download in parallel ({{pip 8697}})
* Discuss the UI of parallel download ({{pip 8698}})
* Log debug information relating lazy wheel decision ({{pip 8710}})
* Disable caching for range requests ({{pip 8716}})
* Dedent late download logs ({{pip 8722}})
* Add a hook for batch downloading (third attempt I think) ({{pip 8737}})
* Test hash checking for fast-deps ({{pip 8743}})

## Did I get stuck anywhere?

Not exactly, everything is going smoothly and I'm feeling awesome!

## What is coming up next?

I'll try to solve {{pip 8697}} and {{pip 8698}} within the next few days.
I am optimistic that the parallel download prototype will be done
within this week.
