Hello Monks,

Quick question about the curl/win32 implementation. I have a script which I wrote on Unix which is working perfectly, but migrating that to Win32 has been quite a pain. I am not sure if I am fighting an implementation issue or my own install issue.

I can get the files to download fine under Win32, but I never am able to see the same progress bar (or progress info) from Curl like I am used to on *nix. All I see is the actual text feedback from the FTP site; the download proceeds correctly but I wish to not see that output and would rather see Curl's familiar download status.

Is this a Win32 specific limitation of the library or did I likely mess up somewhere? Been fighting this one on and off all day. I do believe I've read through all the proper FAQ's. The C API is very in-depth but almost seems not to apply here (yet), as toggling options do not effect this issue.

Thank you kindly...
