Details:

Wget non verbose switch is nearly the same as quiet switch. Just one line
tells the user when a file finished.

What I miss from non verbose switch is some compact information of the
download information like percentage, download rate and ETA. Especially useful
to see if a download actually starts or the server is not capable to answer.

This non verbose switch change is very useful for Gentoo where they use Wget
to fetch the source tarballs for their packages and sometimes the mirrors are
unresponsive. So I can react whereas with actual non verbose switch I could
not. Sure there are other examples where this change is useful.

My patch enables that informations to be printed while downloading for non
verbose switch.


Example Output:


verbose, default
