is there a way to make curl do wget style progress output? i like curl but would love that kind of meter

[samueloph]

"curl --progress-bar" does that

"wcurl --opts="--progress-bar" URL"

I was wondering if that should be the default for wcurl, but the bar only works for downloading single files, I was afraid of users thinking there's a bug whenever they downloaded more than one file if the bar wasn't there anymore.

It isn't exactly what you are asking for but could be adapted to do that: https://github.com/dryark/curl_progress
