It doesn't hang, it is just waiting for data. Since no data is sent,
no file is created. So, this is not a bug in wget.

900 seconds (15 minutes) is the default read timeout. You can change
it with the option -T (or --timeout)
$ wget -T 15 ftp://example.com/path
It is not a bug to wait for data in select().
