I have a python script that launches a URL that is a downloadable file. Is there some way to have python use commandline to display the download progress as oppose to launch
You can stream a downloads as it is here -> Stream a Download.
Also you can Stream Uploads.
The most important streaming a request is done unless you try to access the response.content with just 2 lines
for line in r.iter_lines(): if line: print(line)
