I appear to be using "1.11.5-devel", however I find it unlikely that 
1.11.4 would have the bug you believe it to have.

As I stated, I think this is expected.

Well it is easy to check. Start a download, and watch closely wget's 
output. From the moment you see 'Saving to:' and the progress bar appear 
to the moment the progress bar indicates completion, see if you think 
that amount of time is 1.4s or 11.3s. Given those numbers, it shouldn't 
be difficult to tell. (Actually you would need to do this with a single 
file, in which case I think you would see results similar to mine; an 
overall time of about 2 seconds, and a download time of a fraction of a 
second.)

My guess is that it takes quite some time to get the handshakes and such 
round-tripped between you and the server. Since this time is not 
included in the number wget reports, this would account for the 
discrepancy you are seeing.

11 K/s and high latency sounds reasonable for the type of connection you 
describe.
