Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use. Legal
indicators are ``dot'' and ``bar''.
The ``dot'' indicator is used by default. It traces the retrieval by
printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a fixed amount of
downloaded data.
The ``bar'' indicator is used by default. It draws an ASCII progress
bar graphics (a.k.a ``thermometer'' display) indicating the status of
retrieval. If the output is not a TTY, the ``dot'' bar will be used by
default.
Use @samp{--progress=dot} to switch to the ``dot'' display. It traces
the retrieval by printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a
fixed amount of downloaded data.
When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the @dfn{style} by
specifying the type as @samp{dot:@var{style}}. Different styles assign

files---each dot represents 64K retrieved, there are eight dots in a
cluster, and 48 dots on each line (so each line contains 3M).
Specifying @samp{--progress=bar} will draw a nice ASCII progress bar
graphics (a.k.a ``thermometer'' display) to indicate retrieval. If the
output is not a TTY, this option will be ignored, and Wget will revert
to the dot indicator. If you want to force the bar indicator, use
@samp{--progress=bar:force}.
Note that you can set the default style using the @code{progress}
command in @file{.wgetrc}. That setting may be overridden from the
command line. The exception is that, when the output is not a TTY, the
``dot'' progress will be favored over ``bar''. To force the bar output,
use @samp{--progress=bar:force}.
