As an alternative to curl I tried this...as it seems to have a progress
bar function in it
for some reason, the below code does not show a progress bar :(
Could the file at 512K be too small for it to show?
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
activate
download gbaseURL & gtheVolume to ((path to desktop) & "Fonovisa.dmg"
as string) replacing yes with progress
end tell

is it better to download the file with http [like open location] where
it opens a browser window and show progress
how do most Applescript users chart a file download progress with curl
?
with curl, is opening up a terminal window the only way ?
many thanks

something that users can see to be aware of a downloading file
Try doing a "do script" command addressed to Terminal.app.
curl has its own progress "bar" which is implemented with writes to
stderr. It uses return characters, as opposed to lineends, so that it
overwrites the previous line in a terminal emulator that really
emulates.
There are problems with addressing specific windows in Terminal.app
which are under discussion in the thread:
