This is not with respect to wget in shell, where I agree that multiple control to heart content is available but was in reference to GUI frontend of wget i.e the download managers in linux. The control over the file being download is somewhat limited compared to over wget itself.

Did you try options --output-document and --limit-rate ? (See shell command "man wget", use "/bandwidth"<EnterKey> to search for the word "bandwidth". The second hit is in the explanation of --limit-rate.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
