Hrvoje, This is different from what I observed: - I execute a cgi by wget. The cgi should return a file of about 7MB. - Data start coming, and after 15 minutes, while the file is not complete, wget starts a new trial.

Almost. In fact, the timeout applies whenever the download "stalls", at any point when Wget waits for data to arrive. You can think of it this way: Wget reads data in a loop like this one: while data_pending: read_chunk_from_network write_chunk_to_disk If a "read_chunk_from_network" step takes more than 15min, the download is interrupted (and retried). But the whole download can take as long as it takes.
