Hi Charles,
First of all thanx for replying so quickly. After reading the man
page of wget I came to know there is something called .wgetrc which
can serve as a configuration file for wget.

Thanx for the code but I guess this is just beyond me, I don't know
what wrappers or where this should go? Should all that code be
appeneded in /usr/bin/wget or should it be put somewhere else ?
