Follow-up Comment #2, bug #59363 (project wget):

Dear Tim Ruehsen, you have suspected correctly.

[comment #1 comment #1:]
You say that you expect --wait=N to wait N seconds *before* a retrieval !?

So the word *between* is not a mistake in documentation (my optimistic wish is
dashed).
I presume one condition that satisfies *between* is when it is recursively
downloading.

Yes, this is one condition. You can also specify more than 1 URL via command line or in a given --input-file.

How can we improve the docs ?
Please feel free to suggest a change or the wording that suits best to you.

Since my command example does not satisfy the *between* condition, here is a
suggestion of wording of the documentation. I think it clarifies when
*between* condition is satisfied.
  -w,  --wait=SECONDS              wait SECONDS between retrievals
                                   (e.g. waits between recursive downloads when
-r is used)

TY, amended the text to a more general form:
  "(applies if more then 1 URL is to be retrieved)"

Pushed to master.

Regards, Tim
