Wget accessing non-existing pages repentantly

[Claus]

First of all I don't use w-get so I don't know much of it, however it does 
behave in a non-polite manner.

I have a web page that refers to a different web site via an image map:
   <img src="http://www.niesens.com/logo.gif"; ALT="Niesen's Logo" 
USEMAP="#logo_map" BORDER="0">
   <map name="logo_map">
   <area shape="POLYGON" coords="0,0,72,0,42,29,0,29"
     href="http://www.niesens.com/index.en.html";>
     <area shape="POLYGON" coords="73,0,115,0,115,29,43,29"
     href="http://www.niesens.com/index.de.html";>
   </map>
Wget drops the site address and uses the address it's currently at.  In 
this case it's http://aldireview.niesens.com/index.en.html . Quite annoying 
is that Wget is trying this address continuously without even politely 
delaying the retry.

A small sample from the log files:
