servers that support the @code{Range} header.
@cindex progress indicator
@cindex dot style
@cindex retrieval tracing style
@item --dot-style=@var{style}
Set the retrieval style to @var{style}. Wget traces the retrieval of
each document by printing dots on the screen, each dot representing a
fixed amount of retrieved data. Any number of dots may be separated in
a @dfn{cluster}, to make counting easier. This option allows you to
choose one of the pre-defined styles, determining the number of bytes
represented by a dot, the number of dots in a cluster, and the number of
dots on the line.
@item --progress=@var{type}
Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use. Legal
indicators are ``dot'' and ``bar''.
With the @code{default} style each dot represents 1K, there are ten dots
in a cluster and 50 dots in a line. The @code{binary} style has a more
``computer''-like orientation---8K dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots
per line (which makes for 384K lines). The @code{mega} style is
suitable for downloading very large files---each dot represents 64K
retrieved, there are eight dots in a cluster, and 48 dots on each line
(so each line contains 3M). The @code{micro} style is exactly the
reverse; it is suitable for downloading small files, with 128-byte dots,
8 dots per cluster, and 48 dots (6K) per line.
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.
When using the dotted retrieval, you may also set the @dfn{style} by
specifying the type as @samp{dot:@var{style}}. Different styles assign
different meaning to one dot. With the @code{default} style each dot
represents 1K, there are ten dots in a cluster and 50 dots in a line.
The @code{binary} style has a more ``computer''-like orientation---8K
dots, 16-dots clusters and 48 dots per line (which makes for 384K

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}.
