Hey there,

I wanna download a file at mustek's ftp site in america. This site has a 20 
users limit. Have a look at this:

bash-2.05# wget --wait=30 --waitretry=30 -t 0 
ftp://128.121.112.104/pub/1200UBXP/Web.EXE
--15:10:37--  ftp://128.121.112.104/pub/1200UBXP/Web.EXE
           => `Web.EXE'
Connecting to 128.121.112.104:21... connected!
Logging in as anonymous ...
The server refuses login.
Retrying.

--15:10:39--  ftp://128.121.112.104/pub/1200UBXP/Web.EXE
  (try: 2) => `Web.EXE'
Connecting to 128.121.112.104:21... connected!
Logging in as anonymous ...
The server refuses login.
Retrying.

I've tried -w 30
--waitretry=30
--wait=30 (I think this one is for multiple files and the time in between 
those though)

None of these seem to make wget wanna wait for 30 secs before trying again. 
Like this I'm hammering the server.

Please feel free to smack me if I overlooked anything, I used wget --help to 
find out these options. Wget version is bash-2.05# wget --version
