Hi Marek,

So true! ;-)
limit this to one line
that scales according to transfer size.
The HTTP server does report the size of the entire file in protocol
headers, which are received before the actual data transfer. Cache
this information and use it to adaptively print progress indicator
'#' until it fills one entire line worth of '#', which indicates the
transfer has completed. This way, long transfers don't print pages of
'#', but every transfer will print exactly one line worth of '#'. The
algorithm for '#' printing is the same as TFTP tsize one.
That's not one line strictly speaking, it is 50 characters.
Like I suggested re. your TFTP patch, perhaps a percent-based format
would be better?
0%....10%....20%... etc.
I would like to retain as much compatibility with the old network stack
as possible, to make the switch over easy for existing users.
Is there already such a "pretty printing" function available somewhere ?
In any case:

Thank you
(it seems someone rm'd a character from the AB string above, so I
reinstated it according to the source email address)
