More than 10 hours later, wget is still working on the download.

I have tried that option, but the information it provides doesn't seem
to be to useful. It seems to be basically just a list of temporary
files. What format are those files even in? For example, after running
  xelatex with the --output-driver="xdvipdfmx -vv" option, I get one
file containing this:

What language is the syntax from? I thought it might be postscript,
but ghostscript doesn't seem to know what to do with it.
