==== Download Progress in Statusbar ====

This script can be used in place of the default download handler and will show the wget progress in the status bar. It's based on pbrisbin's dl-progress script (thank you!). 

It simply shows the number of downloads and the lowest progress percentage of all, i.e. 2:14%. 

==== the script ====

<code bash>
#!/bin/bash

# the original dget.sh script:
# (c) 2007 by Robert Manea

# based on dl-progress by pbrisbin
# bashed again by rich_o

# the place to download to
DIR="$HOME/down"

# refresh rate on the progress bar
SECS=1
 
# these are passed in from uzbl
URL="$8"

# it needs to be specific to this DL instance

# get filename from the url and convert some hex codes
# i hate spaces in filenames so i'm switching them
# with underscores here, adjust the first s///g if
# you want to keep the spaces
