I slightly modified the dl-progress script (which was for dzen) in order to get the same thing with zenity. The reason for this is basically that you can choose your destination folder, and the progress bar is bigger. Moreover, auto-opening is disabled by default, you can enable it easily by uncommenting the related parts.

The script is much simpler than dl-progress, because I'm no real programmer. Please feel free to improve it.
