netcat isn't aware of html, response codes, etc at that layer
so it wouldn't work. There is no reason users should have to
write their own parser and complete tool when wget does that.

As before, external process monitors do not work with
recursive wget page by page, nor do they capture server
response status, partial pages, etc. Nor should non Linux
users have to install Linux.

The proper place for these two timeout and byte count options
is in wget.
