How to show wget progress bar only?

Question

For example:

wget http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg

downloading: TheFile.tar.gz ...
--09:30:42--  http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg
                   


        

Answer 1

This is not literally an answer but this snippet might also be helpful to some coming here for e.g. "zenity wget GUI":

LANG=C wget -O /dev/null --progress=bar:force:noscroll --limit-rate 5k http://nightly.altlinux.org/sisyphus/ChangeLog 2>&1 | stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 tr '>' '\n' | stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 sed -rn 's/^.*\<([0-9]+)%\[.*$/\1/p' | zenity --progress --auto-close

What was crucial for me is stdbuf(1).
