Better just to wrap wget with a shell script that runs it every few seconds.

The only real thing missing is a --clobber option to cause it do do the opposite of its normal behavior (that is, overwrite the existing file). That's already planned (though I've forgotten the bug number).

Wget does not have a retrieve every (blank) seconds.

Firefox has an open-source extension similar to this: ReloadEvery (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/115).

This feature would do the same as this plugin: "Reloads web pages every so many seconds or minutes." It would be nice if the user had the option to overwrite or rename the file upon on every save and save such as option so Wget would not ask everytime.
