A further enhancement to the --progress option would be to present the (queue count / maxcount) as part of the progress display. After all, if a user sets --progress it is ostensibly to receive feedback on what wget is doing. At the moment I believe only the debug output presents this information and unless you write some helper code to parse out this information and present it more neatly it can be very tedious to try to read it as output scrolls by. Having it visible in the progress line would make checking it much simpler and it given that it is the only indication of wgets global progress seems like an appropriate thing to include.
When --progress is set, it would be nice if at the completion of the
transfer rather then "freezing" the transfer rate at whatever it was at
when the transfer finished if it was instead recalculated as
(filesize/totoal_download_time) similar to what rsync does. If someone
is outputting this information to a log, having the *actual* thruput of
the given file would be more informative than an instantaneous rate of
change at the time the file finished.
