Description

I assume there is no way you can output some feedback as to how much has been downloaded so far. I am handling ~100MB files and it's hard to stare at a blank screen for that long :)

Something like:

[======                                  ] 30% done

would be awesome.

Research direction
Implement a progress bar in the output using the 'progress' event from the request stream. For example, use the 'request progress' module or manually calculate percentage from total and received bytes.
