Wget has code that changes the console title (ws_changetitle in mswindows.c), which is what Derek is probably referring to. Changing console title was IMHO a mistaken feature to implement in the first place, but the original Windows port had it and, not being a Windows user myself, I didn't want to remove it later. If we allowed such an option, it should probably be named "--console-title" or even "--windows-console-title" rather than the generic "--title". It might include substitutions like %(url) so that the user could specify different strings that still contained the current URL. Anyway, adding further customizations to an already questionnable feature is IMHO not a very good idea.
