[Bug-wget] Problem with WGET

I have utilized wget for several years to ftp data to my computer to force
ocean circulation models.  I recently installed the CA Security software,
replacing Norton 360.  The software that executes the calls to wget has now
started running somewhat unusually.  I begin the software, it in turn begins
making a number of calls to wget to download files via ftp.  The strange
part is that in some cases (not always), wget downloads and stores the files
but doesn't stop executing (I can still see it in the Windows Task Manager,
but using no CPU time).  My software in which the calls to wget are imbedded
then hangs.  When I highlight wget in the Task Manager and click on "End
Process", the software then continues to execute.

I have run tests in which I executed the software several times within 5
minutes, and the wget hang-ups DO NOT occur when ftp'ing the same files.  It
appears to hangup at random calls to wget.

Is there a way from the inputs in the command line to wget to force itself
to end?  Something like waiting for 20 s and then forcing wget to end?
