I'm using Start-Download in a powershell script. Is it possible to indent the progress output (for example 4 spaces)? I'm not familar with powershell, maybe i missed an easy way.

TIA, Torsten

   Hi Torsten,

   Seems like no easy way here (if you are askking about Start-FileDownload command). It uses PSHostUserInterface.Write method (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.management.automati...) internally and I do not see a way to insert indentation without modifying PowerShell function itself. How terrible you need it? ;)

   Hello Ilya,

   Thanks for your answer. It would make the output look it bit cleaner. So it's just a cosmetic thing, not really nesseccary, but nice to have. :)
