You can use -nv or --no-verbose to make wget less verbose, but it won't show download progress in that case.
The wget tool is essentially a spider that scrapes / leeches web pages but some web hosts may block these spiders with the robots. txt files. Also, wget will not follow links on web pages that use the rel=nofollow attribute. You can however force wget to ignore the robots.
The main difference between them is that curl will show the output in the console. On the other hand, wget will download it into a file.
Wget is the non-interactive network downloader which is used to download files from the server even when the user has not logged on to the system and it can work in the background without hindering the current process.
You could try -o and -q
-o logfile
--output-file=logfile
Log all messages to logfile. The messages are
normally reported to standard error.
-q
--quiet
Turn off Wget's output.
So you'd have:
wget ... -q -o /dev/null ...
