This was introduced by commit 19060db44f10d426576f69c515c54ebea37f9e6d: The description says "Init logging as soon as possible", but it's now before the call to fork_to_background, which is where the output filename is generated.

You can still get a (non-empty) logfile if you specify the name with "-o" .

Hello,

with wget 1.19.3 and 1.19.4 I can reproduce the following problem:

$ LC_ALL=C wget -b debian.org
Continuing in background, pid 19726.
Output will be written to 'wget-log'.
$ cat wget-log
$

With -b no logging is written anymore.
