Sounds like maybe we should give it a whirl. If we run into problems, we could always back it back out again (or just ask people to set the appropriate rc command).

Of course, the question is whether these improvements will have been made on many of the systems on which Wget is used. The manuals currently says:

Current default installations of wget prefer IPv4 over IPv6. This is a different behaviour than you see from most networking applications and thwarts all improvements that have recently gone in the ordering of getaddrinfo() results (RFC3484).

Please make --prefer-family=none default
