True. I intended the thousand separator to be a simple visual aid; I didn't even think about the "proper" separators and how this should be done in different locales. Most of Wget avoids the localization issues by using ISO 8601-like formats for dates, and sticking to the C locale when printing numbers. So far noone has complained. At the risk of sounding the wrong way, I'd like to ask: is this really so much of a problem? Are other command-line programs using thousands separators, and doing it correctly, so that Wget stands apart? I'd really like the basic output of numbers not to depend on the locale -- if such a thing is acceptable.
