xwalk_android_dl doesn't work when output directed through a pipe

eg :

$ xwalk_android_dl -a arm |& ts

I'm guessing this is the progress output...perhaps it doesn't make sense when output is directed through a pipe? Note that my real usage is that xwalk_android_dl is part of a script, and I was redirecting the output of the whole script through ts so I could see how long each part takes.

Perhaps it could do with a 'quiet' option?

Yes, a --quiet option would make sense. I may have a look and see if I'm doing it right, because I would have thought that tools which do progress output should still work with a pipe. I probably need to implement some interface in ConsoleLogger so it can properly replace console.
