If I background wget, I definitely do not want to see a progress bar any more, 
no matter if --show-progress bar is on or not (e.g. when the switch in ON via 
wgetrc). Maybe it's a matter of taste - but I can't see any use in the 
combination 'background' + 'progress=on'. Not sure if anyone expects this - at 
least the docs should state this clear, e.g. "This option will force progress 
output even when you background the process".
