People who are interested in the wget development can follow this mailing-list or check the development version available on git from time to time, the new progress bar wasn't a last second surprise. The re-designed progress bar makes sense when there will be multiple downloads happening at the same time, this was the main reason why it was developed as part of our parallel/wget effort (that is not ready yet) and merging this feature quicker will make the transition smoother (at least in our plans :) ) Regards, Giuseppe
