Details:

When writing to a terminal as stdout, wget termintesnormally:

wget -O - -p

works like a charm.
Piping this output into some other program is not so successful:

wget -O - -p
https://de.xhamster.com/photos/gallery/scarlett-johansson-15779909/ | wc

never really finishes and just hangs.

Cygwin under W10. Version is 1.20.3
