wget works in the background when "-b" option is used (or I have
understood that option wrong).
   -b
   --background     Go to background immediately after startup.  If no
output file is specified via the -o, output is redirected to wget-log.



I wasn't using that when I made that launcher. I was using only the "-c"
option so that whenever that launcher is restarted the download resumes.
