Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Redirecting output to 'wget-log.1'.

Redirecting output to 'wget-log'.

Redirecting output to 'wget-log.2'.

Is not very transparent and feels untrustworthy.

Describe the solution you'd like Lets give one echo line saying what download has started in the background for each.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not redirecting the output, but this clutters the terminal window and is distracting while trying to read the dialogs.

Stale issue message

BenWestgate commented 1 month ago

161 closes this issue. The only commands that are sent to dev/null are control flow checks that don't have any effect on the result. Everything that is a command someone would run to install bails manually is printing to terminal or will print to terminal once it it foregrounded.
