Description mikebabcock 2000-11-26 17:20:31 EST

wget currently produces on-screen tick-marks for each kilobyte of
downloaded data.  This can be informative, but it would be nice to have
options for this display.  I'd propose two additional options:

1) Display a "." for each kilobyte, without the spacing and start/end marks
("33%", etc.) for reading by a program that spawns wget.

2) A progress bar based on the size of the file -- this doesn't need to be
any more complicated than the one used by rpm when using -h.

I doubt this is something we'd add here; you may want to contact the wget
maintainers.
