From the wget man page:

Code:
-w seconds --wait=seconds 
Wait the specified number of seconds between
the retrievals.  Use of this option is recommended, as it lightens the
server load by making the requests less frequent.  Instead of in seconds,
the time can be specified in minutes using the "m" suffix, in hours using
"h" suffix, or in days using "d" suffix.

Specifying a large value for this option is useful if the network or the
destination host is down, so that Wget can wait long enough to reasonably
expect the network error to be fixed before the retry.  The waiting
interval specified by this function is influenced by "--random-wait",
which see.
