Package: wget Version: 1.12-1.1 Severity: wishlist It would be good if wget had a progress display option that simply refreshed the number of bytes, kb or whatever, to that point and showed the total expected. I think of this as an odometer style dislay, and it is actually implimented in the Lynx browser when downloading from an interactive session, and the feature dialed in the configuration. I have a blind friend who feels this would be his prefrered display method when using wget if it was available - he likes it in Lynx. C-Kermit's 'set transfer display crt' mode is very similar, but it shows perhaps a bit more info than he would desire - perhaps some range of configurability would be good, icing on the cake.
