Thank you! I really like and appreciate what you did here- I use wget a lot and so I made a slight modification so that I can use the same script for different things-
Changed URL= to URL=$1
Changed "Download Test" to "Downloading $2"
Added -

Requires 2 parameters-

My initial test run was as so-

./dl-wget-prgress.sh http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/42.3/iso/openSUSE-Leap-42.3-DVD-x86_64.iso Leap-42.3
Thank You Again!
