[Bug-wget] giga progress report suggestion

[Karl Berry]

Hi Giuseppe and all,

May I suggest a `giga' option for dot_style (ramp everything up another
order of magnitude or so), or a way to make it configurable?  E.g.,
maybe if the value is a number, that is how many K each dot represents?

These days, files get larger and larger.  I often use wget from scripts
to download 40-50mb files, which takes a dozen lines of progress reports
(usually zooming by).  I'd just as soon have it take one or two lines ...

Just a thought ...

Thanks,
Karl
