  There's a PR for puppy that adds DL progress info. Working for windows and Linux last I tried, but not osx. Even after looking at a similar Rust lib I have no clue how to interface with the osx side and it needs help. If you're in a pinch you can just compile it for what you need for windows, but I would love if we could finish this PR to give puppy cross-platform DL progress info!

  For the GUI side of things, you could use wNim or IUP.

  You could have easily found that out for yourself:

  Just integrate one of

  https://nimble.directory/search?query=progress

  into

  https://nim-lang.org/docs/httpclient.html#progress-reporting

  For example:

  import std/[asyncdispatch, httpclient]
  import progress
  
  const nBytes = 1024 * 1024 * 100
  var bar = newProgressBar(total = nBytes)
  
  proc onProgressChanged(total, progress, speed: BiggestInt) {.async.} =
    bar.set(progress.int)
    #echo("Downloaded ", progress, " of ", total)
    #echo("Current rate: ", speed div 1000, "kb/s")
  
  proc asyncProc() {.async.} =
    var client = newAsyncHttpClient()
    client.onProgressChanged = onProgressChanged
    bar.start()
    discard await client.getContent("https://speed.hetzner.de/100MB.bin")
    bar.finish()
  
  waitFor asyncProc()
  Run
