Improve aria2c progress bar to display downloaded and total file size #25

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the aria2c progress bar only displays the remaining time and download speed for each file. However, it does not show how much of the file has been downloaded or the total file size.
Additionally, in some cases (depending on the service), the progress bar doesn’t appear at all and only shows the download speed (at least from my experience).

Describe the solution you'd like
If technically possible, it would be great if the aria2c progress bar could also display the amount of data downloaded and the total file size, alongside the remaining time and download speed.
For example, instead of showing something like:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 01:40 • DASH 12.6 MB/s

It could show something like:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • 01:40 • 12.6 MB/s 450MB/5.9 GB

This would make it much easier to monitor the download progress at a glance.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Other downloaders (such as N_m3u8DL-RE, which is also included in unshackle) already display progress in this way, and it provides a clearer and more informative view for users.

Additional context
Sometimes aria2c’s progress bar doesn’t display correctly for certain services, it only shows the speed but not the bar itself.
If these improvements are feasible within the way aria2c integrates with unshackle, they could make the overall download experience more consistent and user-friendly.
