See the connection? That's the output from running apt-get update.
Currently it's fetching Packages(.gz) file, the file that lists
available packages on the server.
When you run apt-get -u dist-upgrade, it'll first show you the list of
packages it's going to upgrade/remove/etc. and ask if you wish to
continue. When you say yes it'll start doing its thing and download the
packages first (if necessary.) It'll show the progress in about the same
way as above.

Well, it already is telling you, you just aren't listening :)
