Yes, that's one way. It's currently in development for Win32, but it would be nice if it works on *nix later on aswell. Got a tip from a user in a chatroom to use Ncurses for it, but then I can't use it on win32.
Just to correct myself; it's chr(8) and not 7.

I'm not sure of how you could do this, but one other thing you could do, is like I've seen certain console FTP apps do, is just do a division of the total size by whats downloaded, and have like 100 pound signs that are gradually filled in as it downloads.

I'm building a download-manager script (like wget), in PHP. Does any of you know how I can update a line in the console? I've tried to echo chr(7) which is the backspace character, but it won't work. This kind of thing is seen in tons of console applications. Like some "please wait" thing that changes from - to \, |, /, and so on (looks like a rotating line).
Ideas?
