``dot'' progress will be favored over ``bar''. To force the bar output,
use @samp{--progress=bar:force}.
+@item --show-progress
+Force wget to display the progress bar in any verbosity.
+
+By default, wget only displays the progress bar in verbose mode. One may
+however want wget to display the progress bar on screen in conjunction with
+any other verbosity modes like @samp{--no-verbose} or @samp{--quiet}. This
+is often a desired a property when invoking wget to download several small/large
+files. In such a case, wget could simply be invoked with this parameter to get
+a much cleaner output on the screen.

@item -N
@itemx --timestamping
