How can I show the wget progress bar only? [closed]

Question

For example:

wget http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg      downloading: TheFile.tar.gz ...     --09:30:42--  http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg                => `/home/me/Downloads/TheFile.jpeg'     Resolving somesite.co... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.     Connecting to somesite.co|xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx|:80... connected.     HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 200 OK     Length: 1,614,820 (1.5M) [image/jpeg]      25% [======>                              ] 614,424      173.62K/s    ETA 00:14  How can I get it to look like the following?      downloading: TheFile.jpeg ...     25% [======>                              ] 614,424      173.62K/s    ETA 00:14 

I know curl can do that. However, I need to get wget to do that job.

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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 | progressfilt 100%[======================================>] 15,790      48.8K/s   in 0.3s  2011-01-13 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.
