Progress bar in console app to show download progress
Wanting to create a very simple console application (.NET 7) which downloads a few files and installs them on the user's machine (less "install" and moreso "place a self-contained executable in a directory they choose").
What're my options to create a progress bar for the download process?

depends on your framework, iirc WPF has a built in
<ProgressBar/> control
as for how to wire it up, look into the IProgress<T> interfaceconsole app
oh, that's what i get for not reading 🙂
seems like something spectreconsole would offer?
never messed with it, i really need to check it out

I'm honestly not super sure how to even do this with downloading a file...
Not to mention that another file I'm downloading is a zip of fonts, which I'll have to unzip and install, all preferably in memory
So uh, probably just not possible
