No terminal window when using Curl in OSX

Post by ByteTemplar »

If I choose Curl as download manager in my Arch Linux desktop and start a download, it opens a terminal window so I can see the progress. On my Mac (Snow Leopard) it doesnt open a terminal, but I can see using command "ps -A" that Curl session is in progress and it actually is downloading the file, I just cant see the progress.

Ive been trying to figure this out for weeks and no such luck! Any ideas how to get it work?

I really dont like using DTA or any other bloated download managers!

You need xterm in your $PATH

I added the path to my xterm but still no luck :(
Perhaps I need to make a reboot for it to take a effect, though typing "echo $PATH" does show path to xterm now and I can start it up by typing "xterm" in terminal too.

Cant reboot right now, rendering a loong video...

Restarting Firefox should suffice.

If not, please send me your FlashGot Options|Advanced|Show Log output.
