There is the -a FILE (--append-output=FILE) option to append to a logfile. A combination of -b, -nv and -a FILE should do more or less what you want. It may be possible for the log file to become mangled if more than one wget process writes to the log file at the same time, but I don't think that will be a problem with -nv logging unless the lines are very long (due to downloading from a humungous URL, say).
