Follow-up Comment #2, bug #44966 (project wget):
Not really. Sometimes I expect Wget to fail and do not want it's output
messing my script up. In other cases, I know how to handle Wget's failures
using exit codes and do not want the output to make things ugly.
I usually run wget with -q --show-progress and would hate for errors to
clutter up the otherwise perfect screen.
Also, the -q switch should really be "quiet". We do not want to print
*anything* at all if it can be avoided to the screen.
The -nv switch is think is already that sweet spot between verbose and quiet.
It will print only error messages and a success message for each file it
downloads.
In my opinion, we should not change / add any more verbosity options.
