[Bug-wget] --progress=dot:giga

[Greg Knittl]

Hi,

--progress=dot:giga on wget 1.17.1 outputs 32 dots per line where each 
dot represents 1MB downloaded.

The cumulative total at the left of each line is in KB. I would find MB 
easier to understand. It matches up with the dots and better matches the 
scale of GigaByte files. I still often have download speeds measured in 
KB/sec but I don't recall ever comparing download speed to the 
cumulative total on the the left.

I would ask that you at least consider this for wget2. I personally 
don't have any programs that read this column of wget output so I would 
be fine if it changes in the current wget1 but I would understand if you 
consider it an API that you don't want to break.

thanks,
Greg
