  GNU Wget 1.10 Manual
Wget has been designed for robustness over slow or unstable network connections; if a download fails due to a network problem, it will keep retrying until the whole file has been retrieved.
Normally Wget gives up on a URL when it is unable to connect to the site because failure to connect is taken as a sign that the server is not running at all and that retries would not help.
Wget's recursive retrieval normally refuses to visit hosts different than the one you specified on the command line.

  Wget - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wget is non-interactive in the sense that, once started, it does not require user interaction and does not need to control a TTY, being able to log its progress to a separate file for later inspection.
Wget 1.4.3, released February 1997, was the first version released as part of the GNU project with the copyright assigned to the FSF.
Wget is developed in an open fashion, most of the design decisions typically being discussed on the public mailing list [7] followed by users and developers.

Normally Wget gives up on a URL when it is unable to connect to the site because failure to connect is taken as a sign that the server is not running at all and that retries would not help.
Note that even though Wget writes to a known filename for this file, this is not a security hole in the scenario of a user making.listing a symbolic link to /etc/passwd or something and asking "root" to run Wget in his or her directory.

 Debian -- Details of package wget in etch
Wget is a network utility to retrieve files from the Web using http(s) and ftp, the two most widely used Internet protocols.
Wget works particularly well with slow or unstable connections by continuing to retrieve a document until the document is fully downloaded.
Both http and ftp retrievals can be time stamped, so wget can see if the remote file has changed since the last retrieval and automatically retrieve the new version if it has.

 wget(1): non-interactive network downloader - Linux man page
Note that Wget implements the limiting by sleeping the appropriate amount of time after a network read that took less time than specified by the rate.
By default, Wget escapes the characters that are not valid as part of file names on your operating system, as well as control characters that are typically unprintable.
This is achieved by --load-cookies---simply point Wget to the location of the cookies.txt file, and it will send the same cookies your browser would send in the same situation.

 WGET 1.10.2 for Windows (win32)
One of the major problems in 1.8.2 was with the rfc1738 reserved and unsafe character standard, which wget tried to adhere to, not just for decoding URLs, but also for filenames on the local filesystem.
Examples were conversion of spaces to %20, which wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that wget insists that % is an illegal character on Windows (which it is not), and converted all %s to @s (basically mangling filenames beyond repair).
Another worse example was the fact that wget is unaware that '?' is an illegal character in Windows, hence it crashed on URLs with query strings.

 portaudit: wget -- multiple vulnerabilities
Wget erroneously thinks that the current directory is a fair game, and will happily write in any file in and below it.
Malicious HTTP response or malicious HTML file can redirect wget to a file that is vital to the system, and wget will create/append/overwrite it.
Wget apparently has at least two methods of ``sanitizing'' the potentially malicious data it receives from the HTTP stream, therefore a malicious redirects can pass the check.
