I chatted about this in my book, SPIDERING HACKS: http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596005776/disobeycom
Thankfully, the discussion and code, are available free online:

Depending on your shell, however, one of the examples may not work correctly (the "spinner" thing, which isn't the display you're looking for. The quick fix is to move the \b to the front of the spinner, not the end). There was more discussion of this on a mailing list, but I can't remember, or find, the URL.
