When I do a download with wget, I use: wget -bchttps://example.com/install_2023-01-03.iso This does a couple things for me while downloading since I can then use: wc -l wget-log|grep -i saved If I use up-arrow once then hit enter that second command gets run again. I monitor the download progress and find when the file is saved with minimal screen clutter normally produced by wget.
