curl has its own progress "bar" which is implemented with writes to stderr. It

previous line in a terminal emulator that really emulates.

One option would be to redirect stdout to a file:

    curl -O http://path/to/your/file.dmg >& /tmp/prog.txt

Which will produce a nicely formatted text file that you could *tail* to get
progress updates from.

But you reach a stage where you think what's the point in coming up with so many workarounds to avoid entering a single line in a Terminal window?

Indeed. Particularly as the Terminal gives you a progress indication.
