Change wget output format?

So I've finally switched my pacman configuration to use wget to download packages instead of the default downloader, and it's a lot faster, I'm glad I switched. The only thing that bugs me just a little is the bulky and unnecessary output format of wget. Is there a way I could reconfigure the format to the minimums? For example, just the name of the file, progress bar, time downloading, and speed? I've looked at all the configuration files for wget, and there doesn't seem to be any options to change the format of the output in any way. Any ideas?

All help appreciated
Danny

Re: Change wget output format?

Does adding -q to the pacman command do what you want?
