How to save wget or curl terminal output to file

I want to ask how save wget or curl output which is writing to terminal. For example:

wget -O - "some file im downloading"

Now terminal shows me how much of file was downloaded, what is current download speed. So I want to know how to save all these changing values to a file

The status information of wget is always printed to stderr (channel 2). So you can redirect that channel to a file:

wget -O - "some file im downloading" >downloaded_file 2>wget_status_info_file

Channel 1 (stdout) is redirected to the file downloaded_file and stderr to wget_status_info_file.
