Thu 17 Dec 2020 09:49:42 PM UTC, original submission:  Quote -q --quiet option is not clear enough. It does not "Turn off Wget's output", it just does not put the "status information" into the output. For example "-O -" can still output the response body into the output, so output is not turned off with -q.	Anonymous
