Also use mirror services for GNU languages in the "latest-langs" script and show a progress bar like curl #2413

Here I've used a different approach. The assignment for the first language in the list is saved and processed for use with the other languages. This seems more efficient than repeatedly executing the query method.
I think I've run the script almost a thousand times, if not more. With the most recent commit, it never crashed, so here it is.

Now is a good time for reproduction, because things have been going smoothly the last few weeks, but as I said before, it is quite unpredictable. $ time ./latest-langs AWK Bash Forth sed
AWK 5.3.2 → 5.3.2
Bash 5.3.3 → 5.3
Forth 0.7.3 → 0.7.3
sed 4.9 → 4.9
real 3m29.247s
user 0m1.774s
sys 0m0.042s$ time ./latest-langs AWK Bash Forth sed
AWK 5.3.2 → 5.3.2
Bash 5.3.3 → 5.3
Forth 0.7.3 → 0.7.3
sed 4.9 → 4.9
real 6m12.147s
user 0m1.586s
sys 0m0.103s |
The URL still needs to be generated once, but if the mirror service goes down, as is currently the case, the "normal" and generally slower domain is used.

The last commit causes a progress bar to appear while the script is executing, regardless of how the script was started. oh@Yewzir:~/code-golf$ ./latest-langs --all

What I'm trying to improve here is the often long wait times for the GNU languages. Currently, they use ftp.gnu.org/gnu/, but it usually takes a long time to get there. It's quite unpredictable, but I think this can be improved. Based on these commits, ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnu/ is used to navigate to the currently available and usually fastest mirror service. This service is only consulted once for the first GNU language in the list and is maintained for all other GNU languages. Unfortunately, the sorting
?C=M;O=Dis lost by simply changing "ftp" to "ftpmirror", and not every mirror service supports this sorting method, but I've tried to solve this as best I can.
