download progress

Hey list,I don't suppose anyone has made any kind
of "progress indicator" for downloads, have they?
If I'm fetching a large file, I would kind of like
to see how much is left. wget does this pretty well.
has anyone done this?

I suppose you are searching fot a text-mode indicator?
REBOL/View already has a graphical progress-indicator!
If you're clever you can take a deeper look at the function
request-download
, replacing the graphical parts through
a textual one.
