Are you using same version than me? Because the report is different.
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.
When I investigate this issue was because real time in human
perception to download is not the time wget report.
As I stated, I think this is expected.
I'm using a very slow connection (mobile gprs) and download all wap
page (16K) takes 12s in average, with wget and other programs
included firefox.
I'm seeing all downloaded process, and real time to downloaded all
files takes 10-15 seconds each time. Is sure that is not 1.4 second
I really think that this is an error, I tried several times and
behavior is the same.
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.
