Good point.  Maybe it should rather vary between 0.5*wait and
1.5*wait?  That seems like a better default, and it allows the user to
(implicitly) specify minimum wait time.  (I believe the original
default comes from the time when Wget was only able to sleep for a
whole number of seconds.)

I think it'd be a shame to spend more arguments on such a rarely-used
feature.
