While testing 1.19.1 I awas already using currency convertor daily and
never encountered this, apparently because I have
logfile = /RAM::Ramdisc0/$/wgt.log
in my (unixhome) /wgetrc file.

Setting
logfile = /dev/null
stops all output.

The commandline version would be
-o /dev/null

I dont know why --quiet is not working.
The logfile output is quite separate to the output document processing
where my change (close open file) was made I think.
but a build of 1.19.1 without my patches should verify that.
