nope. for example
[root@pooh /root]# wget
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/pine-4.30-2.i386.rpm
--12:42:25-- ftp://updates.redhat.com:21/7.0/i386/pine-4.30-2.i386.rpm
=> `pine-4.30-2.i386.rpm'
Connecting to updates.redhat.com:21... connected!
Logging in as anonymous ...
Login incorrect.
[root@pooh /root]# wget -t 0
ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/pine-4.30-2.i386.rpm
--12:42:43-- ftp://updates.redhat.com:21/7.0/i386/pine-4.30-2.i386.rpm

As you can see, ther retry switch doesn't help you in this case. What is
happening here is the max number of anonymous connections has been
reached. hence my use of lftp for this sort of thing. :)

No space is needed to put a job in the background. It will work with
any comand since this is a feature of your shell. again, I said *with*
feedback. Try lftp, you will see what I mean.
