For example:
wget http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg downloading: TheFile.tar.gz ... --09:30:42-- http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg => `/home/me/Downloads/TheFile.jpeg' Resolving somesite.co... xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.

I know curl can do that. However, I need to get wget to do that job.

Answer
You can use the following filter:
progressfilt () { local flag=false c count cr=$'r' nl=$'n' while IFS='' read -d '' -rn 1 c do if $flag then printf '%s' "$c" else if [[ $c != $cr && $c != $nl ]] then count=0 else ((count++)) if ((count > 1)) then flag=true fi fi fi done }
Usage:
$ wget --progress=bar:force http://somesite.com/TheFile.jpeg 2>&1 | progressfilt 100%[======================================>] 15,790 48.8K/s in 0.3s 2011-01-13 22:09:59 (48.8 KB/s) - 'TheFile.jpeg' saved [15790/15790]
This function depends on a sequence of 0x0d0x0a0x0d0x0a0x0d
being sent right before the progress bar is started. This behavior may be implementation dependent.
