How to show wget progress bar only?

Use:

wget http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg -q --show-progress

• -q: Turn off wget's output

• --show-progress: Force wget to display the progress bar no matter what its verbosity level is set to

You can use the following filter:

progressfilt (){    local flag=false c count cr=$'\r' nl=$'\n'    while IFS='' read -d '' -rn 1 c    do        if $flag        then            printf '%s' "$c"        else            if [[ $c != $cr && $c != $nl ]]            then                count=0            else                ((count++))                if ((count > 1))                then                    flag=true                fi            fi        fi    done}

Usage:

$ wget --progress=bar:force http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg 2>&1 | progressfilt100%[======================================>] 15,790      48.8K/s   in 0.3s2011-01-13 22:09:59 (48.8 KB/s) - 'TheFile.jpeg' saved [15790/15790]

This function depends on a sequence of 0x0d0x0a0x0d0x0a0x0d being sent right before the progress bar is started. This behavior may be implementation dependent.

Use using these flags:

wget  -q --show-progress --progress=bar:force 2>&1
