The download progress bar of "wget" is broken because it prints almost
every progress stage in separate line. It's not a bar that updates in a
single line. Here's an example:

     10%[=>                   ]
     20%[===>                 ]
     30%[=====>               ]
     40%[=======>             ]
     50%[=========>           ]
     60%[===========>         ]
     70%[=============>       ]
     80%[===============>     ]
     90%[==================>  ]
    100%[====================>]

I think I have seen similar problem with other programs' progress bars
too so I guess this is a terminal control problem not a wget bug. The
problem appeared after upgrading to Debian 8. Can it be fixed easily?
