Is it possible to get WGET to only show download progress e.g. download bar, opposed to all of the connection info, as it does look a little ugly on the client side, is this possible to do?

You can use:
wget --no-verbose ...
wget -nv ...
to make wget less verbose. When I saw "less verbose" I mean that you get:
- one printed line of text with the file name for each download
- no progress bar

There's an answer on StackOverflow that does this:
wget -q --show-progress http://example.com
--show-progress will override the "quiet" flag.
For wget <1.16, use this excellent answer instead.

3should be the accepted answer as it relates to wget specifically.– cerdCommented Jun 22, 2017 at 22:47

This answer still makes it spam the stdout with a gigantic progress bar. In the comments of the answer you linked however there's a solution, together with -q and --show-progress, you should add: --progress=bar:force:noscroll Commented Feb 28, 2020 at 13:40

The following option works great to show minimum progress without complete silence like -q:
wget --progress=bar:force:noscroll https://repo.anaconda.com/...
For wget 1.16+, use -q --show-progress to show the progress bar only, as mentioned in an earlier answer.
wget -q --show-progress https://repo.anaconda.com/...

Try curl instead...
$ curl "http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.6.tar.lzma" -o nul

$ curl "http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.21.6.tar.lzma" -o nul -# ######### 13,3%
