Sigh, so we can't have our cake and eat it too... I really appreciate having
feedback for downloads. However, the log file doesn't need it, only the
user. Do you think --progress=dot:mega is acceptable for log file niceness?
There would still be the chatter with the server coming through due to
having to remove the "-nv" (non-verbose) switch.
