Hello, here an answer of this problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/wget%40sunsite.dk/msg03330.html
Dear Debian "wget" bug reporter, I just want to inform you why your bug report is still open or why it looks like that nobody is working on fixing the bugs reported against the wget package (http://bugs.debian.org/wget). Since some month I didn't report bugs and problems to the upstream author/mailinglist (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/#mailinglists) because wget right now has no maintainer who is working on it or fixes bugs.:( http://www.gnu.org/help/help.html --8<-- We are looking for new maintainers for these GNU packages (contact <maintainers@gnu.org> if you'd like to volunteer): * ... * wget (which still has a maintainer, but he would like to step down) --8<-- This is the reason why reporting bugs to the wget mailinglist right now doesn't make sense because nobody will work on them. When there will be a new maintainer I will report the open bugs in the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS) to him but this may take some time (the help request on the gnu.org page is there since a month; maybe you know somebody:)). Thanks for reporting bugs.:)

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #33839 (project wget): But it IS a problem that -nv ( = NON-verbose) causes to have this junk printed anyway regardless of whatever! 2014-09-01 13:23:00 URL:http://whatever.url.this.may.be [98765] -> "-" [1] And it is a problem that you HAVE to send the output to /dev/null first to stop this! At least they should give us a -nvv alternative option or whatever that will suppress this *by default*. Users are not interested in manually suppressing data junk deemed "important" by some tech geeks. Yes, it's the same ones constantly having live log file consoles on their desktop and those that always "need to know" when some global hotkey has been set. This justifies (oh-yes!) pagefuls of debug information with console apps because that is oh-so important.

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #33839 (project wget):
Yes, please add something like `-nvv` to suppress that one line so that we can
stop writing:
$ wget -nv whatever 2>&1 | grep -v ' -> '
Follow-up Comment #4, bug #33839 (group wget): Diagnostic messages need to be sent to stderr, not stdout, otherwise this would break "-O -". Then, there is a need for an option to suppress any diagnostic message except error messages, e.g. for use with "cron". No that using grep as suggested in 2022 is not a good workaround because one cannot get the exit status of wget from a portable POSIX shell. (Also, there might be false negatives.)
