Putting back progress bar in the new version of wget

Some time ago, when I did wget, it showed a simple progress bar. Now, it shows this huge line by line output:

 600K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 9% 194K 39s 650K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 10% 184K 39s 700K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 10% 195K 38s 750K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 11% 101K 39s 800K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 12% 180K 38s 850K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 12% 270K 37s 900K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 13% 187K 37s 950K .......... .......... .......... .......... .......... 14% 193K 36s 1000K .......... .......... .......... ......^C

How to change back to a simple progress bar (and some header info like it always showed) without custom command line filters?

UPDATE:

turns out that when i'm not into a regular terminal this happens. The problem here is that I'm on a dockerfile build, so that's what happens, even if I do:

--progress=bar:force:noscroll

Read man wget, especially the part about

 --progress=type Select the type of the progress indicator you wish to use. Legal indicators are "dot" and "bar".

There are subtypes to both --progress=dot and --progress=bar.
