Stop wget from editing the title

I am having problems with wget. When I am downloading something with wget, it shows the url in the progressbar. I want to set my own title and hold it. It's similar to this question: Get the wget title away(and keep my own)

code:

title hello
wget http://www.white.nl/custom/img/slides/slide2/glow.png

how can I block wget from editing the title? -q shows nothing and with -nv it wont show the progress anymore, which I want to see

As per wget source code it changes the title on Windows unless --no-verbose option is given.

So the only way to keep the title AND see the progress is to launch wget in a separate [minimized] window, for example:

start /min /wait wget http://url
