Would it be okay to get a commandline flag to get another kind of progress bar?
Just echo a new line with the percent whenever a new whole number percent is reached?

I know wget has a --progress=type flag, and I have seen people pipe wget with progress=dot through awk and sed to get just the percent.
I don't know, maybe the argument could be called --progress=dumb
If you add other aesthetic types, maybe the user preferred one could be put in the config file. I know pacman has an option to let the progress bar be a pacman that eats dots, thats always funny if you run arch linux.
