Am I the only one who think "output" is confusing for the "-o" option?

GNU wget manual already changed the name to "logfile" for what you are
implementing.

Speaking of, would you mind also change the "-O" help text to clarify it
refer to the "downloaded data"? Since both can be technically considered
wget "output" it helps to distinguish between the two.
