Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

        I tried downloading an ISO using wget2

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

        I issued the command wget2 URL_TO_FILE

   * What was the outcome of this action?

        The file was downloaded but wget2 did not display any
        progress(-bar) while doing so.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

        I expected the command to work similar to the behaviour of wget
        displaying a progress-bar. This behaviour is also specified as
        default behaviour in the wget2 manpage.

Using "wget --progress=bar URL_TO_FILE" produces the expected output but
the manpage declared verbose output to be default therefore I expected
a progress-bar.

In troubleshooting this behaviour I also learned that the option
--progress=dot results in "Unknown progress type 'dot'" despite this
option being declared in the manpage.


Thanks for maintaining wget2,

Marcel
