That's fine, but I see the delay in wget just getting the one file as well.
And that sort of serialised download would slow page display - it ought
to start downloading something and even display the page title pretty
quickly, and I'm not even seeing that.

Quick snoop:

Ouch. 4s between packets 2 and 3. It's not the overall time, it's
that initial pause.
