Re: [Bug-wget] [Bulk] 1.16, w64: filename marquee one character too short; overall dipslay line one character too wide

2.) Displaying "eta" uses too much space when both minutes and seconds
have 2-digit numbers. Thus, the entire line needs 80 characters and
forces a linewrap, which turns out into NOT updating the line per
progress step, but instead prints new lines all over.

I believe this is due to the diffence in behaviour of bash etc. and
WinCon on handling a character at rightmost edge. Windows
will wrap the cursor and go to the next line. Bash won't act until it
sees the next character AFAICR.

You could try this patch:

I believe a 'set LINES=79' won't work on Windows  (?)
