#10 Console progress indication

[Graham Forest]

It'd be great if us console users could have some sort of progress indication while downloading. Perhaps a bar graph made of dashes, a percentage, and maybe a transfer rate.

The problem arrises when one has multiple transfers
going at one time. Since normally, you just append
information to the unix socket which is Standard Out.
This problem could be solved using something like
ncurses... but I don't know how to do that yet...

Anyone else?

I will see if I can find a developer capable of
implementing this. In the meanwhile, I will work on
cleaning up the amount of debuging information
dumped to the console (see bug 541285) to make your
life a little easier.
