The "Random Agent Spoofer" Firefox/Seamonkey/Waterfox addon provides many privacy features that should be incorporated into GNU wget.
Mainly, GNU wget should have an option to use a different (preferably random) user-agent for each new request with an option like: --random-user-agent-list-file=FILENAME where FILENAME specifies a list of user-agent strings (one per line) to be used. Alternatively, the list of random user agents can also be specified in the command line - delimited by a " character, for example: --random-user-agents='AGENT0"AGENT1"AGENT2...' Not sure if the " character is allowed in an user-agent string, and if so, the delimiter would need to be different.
