[SOLVED] [wget] Show progress when reading URLs from text?

littlebigman · 03-03-2022, 10:54 AM

Hello,

Is there a way for wget to show progress when reading an input file?

Code:

wget --config=wgetrc --content-disposition -i urls.txt

When using it to download hundreds of pages, I'd like to see how far it is from completion.

Thaknk you.

Plug wget in to a loop of some kind. And count it.

Simple example for progress bar.

Code:

for ((a = 0; a <= 50 ; a++)); do
    echo -n "[ "
    
    for ((i = 0 ; i <= a; i++)); do 
        echo -n "#"
    done
    
    for ((j = i ; j <= 50 ; j++)); do 
        echo -n " "
    done
    
    v=$((a * 2))
    echo -n " ] "
    echo -n "$v %" $'\r'
    
    sleep .1 #Doing something here.
done
echo -e "\nDownload complete"
