+# By default Wget uses "passive FTP" transfer where the client
+# initiates the data connection to the server rather than the other
+# way around. That is required on systems behind NAT where the client
+# computer cannot be easily reached from the Internet. However, some
+# firewalls software explicitly supports active FTP and in fact has
+# problems supporting passive transfer. If you are in such
+# environment, use "passive_ftp = off" to revert to active FTP.

+# The "wait" command below makes Wget wait between every connection.
+# If, instead, you want Wget to wait only between retries of failed
+# downloads, set waitretry to maximum number of seconds to wait (Wget
+# will use "linear backoff", waiting 1 second after the first failure
+# on a file, 2 seconds after the second failure, etc. up to this max).
