When output is captured to a log file, download status is output on a continuous unbroken string. For example:

This isn't too bad for smaller downloads, but larger or slow downloads produce lines so long they result in extended hic-ups in viewing tools; typically not expecting lines with almost a million characters.

I presume using the "-q" switch can account for the problematic output, but also omits details I'd like to capture.

An option to omit download status info, or an alternate format that would break it up over multiple lines would be nice.
