[Bug-wget] [bug #44966] wget -nv is too verbose, -q too quiet

[Darshit Shah]

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.
