 this works but no size in output:

 I found a reference to a 2007 post asking for:
  3) add support for turning off the progress bar with
 --progress=none

I think I am going to add this support by myself.
I have written a small patch to make wget parallel, but until I haven't
a clear idea how the progress bar should look (and how to implement it),
a ---progress=none will be fine.

--progress=none
 4) perhaps disable the progress bar if -O - is specified

I believe -S (if set) should also be on if -O is specified (even with -q or -nv)

 Hi,

 I use wget with --append-output=filename in order to save a log of a
 downloading session.

 Is it possible to tell wget to not write any progress indication
 (dots/bars) to the output file? When logging to a file the indication
 doesn't serve any purpose. It just makes the log file larger, and for very
 large files, you can end up with screenfuls of dots in the log file. (I'm
 using --progress=dots:mega to reduce the number of dots in the output
 already.)
