Describe the bug

When ArchiveBox is run and the terminal changes vertical size, the status bar freaks out and switches to drawing progress as horizontal space, drawing a new line for each iteration.

Besides just flooding the terminal, for long downloads, this seemingly can also mean that ArchiveBox begins to bottleneck itself on writing output to the terminal.

Steps to reproduce

Run archive
Resize the terminal.

The attached screenshot does so via a tmux pane in alacritty, but I confirmed the same behavior in tmux+iTerm, and in notmux and just plain resizing an iTerm window.

Screenshots or log output

Software versions

OS: macOS
ArchiveBox version: eb641b3
Python version: pypy3 (3.6.1)
