I'm sorry, but I don't think I would like that interface at all,
though I realize almost every other piece of software does this, like fsck etc.
Edbrowse is all about minimal output.
.......... is clear and concise, and even a huge file only takes up
a few hundred bytes on your screen or in your log buffer,
and if you want to know how many megabytes so far,
just hit control w (on my adapter) for the current column number,
or read the word as "dot length 47", or however your adapter does it,
as I'm sure there is some easy way.
If I reviewed the log buffer later, I wouldn't want to read
337 lines of 
downloaded x
downloaded x
downloaded x
downloaded x
downloaded x
instead of just one line of 337 dots.
That would just annoy the crap out of me.
