Nobody should have to guess that the reader has a custom ~/.wgetrc file
with multiple non-default options set to "on". It is completely unfair
to put the blame for this on the writers of documentation that involves
downloading files.
It would be like... reading a cookbook that tells you how to bake cookies,
but complaining that the cookbook does not take into account that your
oven's temperature control is in Kelvin instead of degrees Fahrenheit.
