   For the curious, a set of patches should be available at:

      http://antinode.info/ftp/wget/wget-1_13_4/1_13_4_1.dru

That includes the changes to rehabilitate "--preserve-permissions".

   Note, too, that, to a casual reader, it's not entirely clear what
"WAIT" refers to here.

  -w,  --wait=SECONDS            wait SECONDS between retrievals.
       --waitretry=SECONDS       wait 1..SECONDS between retries of a retrieval.

Possibly "SECONDS" from one of those?  Might be easier (or messier) if
--random-wait could take a time value, too.
