I _think_ that it goes to background by default (again, not sure as I'm
not well versed on wget (I use the gui gwget for most). But I did:

~$ wget -c http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.10/ubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso

and then exited the terminal. ps aux shows wget still available & the
system monitor shows it 'sleeping'.

Have a look through:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=wget
to see if you can find something there.
