[Q] Is this supposed to work with `wget`?

progress -p `pidof wget`

has no output for me. Is this normal?

It works well for me, not really a progression, because there is no source file on the case of wget, but it's showing something.
Be more precise on your environment, Linux or Mac ?
Are you sure pidof wget is returning something?
Are you sure pidof wget is not returning many processes id?

Also, progress -c wget is probably a better option (multiple instances of wget can exists at the same time).

wget --limit-rate 200k http://test-debit.free.fr/image.iso + progress -mc wget :
image

Looks fine to me! ;)

Ubuntu
pidof wget returned one PID.

I’ll close the issue for now, thanks.
