xterm with wget, or xdialog gauge

In Bash scripts, how to load a separate xterm and run wget? After download, xterm will exit.

wget http://user-contributions.org/projects/archWMbase/pkg/Daemon/Daemon.list

Or within a script run xdialog's gauge box with wget. Or separate xterm with Bash's dialog --gauge.

Re: xterm with wget, or xdialog gauge

Got it to work with xdialog --gauge. As you can see its "fake" but does the job. smile ... only the developer will know.

(echo "25" ; sleep 1
wget -q http://user-contributions.org/projects/archWMbase/pkg/$choiceFTP/$choiceFTP.list
echo "50"
echo "75"; sleep 1
echo "100" ; sleep 1) |
Xdialog --title "PacWM" --gauge "Downloading..." 7 40

if [ "$?" = 255 ] ; then
    echo ""
fi
