It is, but with a twist. Read the wget manpage again, and you'll find: |

|
| 27 |
[..] when the output is not a TTY, the "dot" progress will be favored |

over "bar". [..] |

|

So putting --progress=bar:force into FETCHCOMMAND/RESUMECOMMAND does the |
| 31 |
trick. Maybe this was done for the --jobs option or a change in background |
| 32 |
process logging to a file? No idea but the trick works for me. |
