I have no idea when upstream will release the next version. There were already 3 pre versions but this might mean nothing. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2012-07/msg00032.html The patch is included in the experiemental version 1.13.4.79-1 of wget: http://packages.debian.org/wget Maybe you want to test/use this version. I will ask Giuseppe about if he has a date when he wants to release the version. > Right now wget is unusable for mirroring sites or retrieving many files > over https because it hogs memory until the kernel OOM killer kills it. > > The upstream fix is available here: > > http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/wget/trunk/revision/2572#src/gnutls.c > > The upstream diff is available directly from here: > > http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/wget/trunk/diff/2572 > > > To help others having this problem, there is a workaround: > > Add options "--ca-directory=/noexist --no-check-certificate" to the wget > command line. > > This does not resolve the memory leak completely but it makes it much > smaller.
