Feature Request: Silent mode

[nylocx]

I'm using hfdownloader in a docker container and I really would like to have to option to slience the progress to only have one "line" per file. Otherwise you will quickly see something like "buildx output clipped 200KiB/s reached" as every update to the progress bar is written to the build log.

something like --progress=[interactive,static,disabled] might be good with static only giving an output once a download starts and once it finishes.

This has been implemented with version 1.3.4, you can use -q flag
it will only disable progress bar printing, but will print "starting and finished"

Out of curiosity, is it difficult instead of outputting hundreds of terminal lines per second to output the speed/percentage in the same line? I'm using the -q option at this point since otherwise the terminal history buffer fills in completely in seconds, but it would be nice if I could see the speed or some progress indicator.
I understand if it's difficult or not worth spending energy on though, mostly curious.

Hey! Any chance we can extend silent mode to also suppress printing to stdout/stderr? I'm using HuggingFaceModelDownloader as a package. Alternatively, perhaps rather use a logger?

So the below should not be output when downloading a model:

HuggingFaceModelDownloader/hfdownloader/hfdownloader.go
