Set a download quota and turned robots off:

 ### Sample Wget initialization file .wgetrc
 ###
 
 ## You can use this file to change the default behaviour of wget or to
 ## avoid having to type many many command-line options. This file does
 ## not contain a comprehensive list of commands -- look at the manual
 ## to find out what you can put into this file.
 ##
 ## Wget initialization file can reside in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc
 ## (global, for all users) or $HOME/.wgetrc (for a single user).
 ##
 ## To use the settings in this file, you will have to uncomment them,
 ## as well as change them, in most cases, as the values on the
 ## commented-out lines are the default values (e.g. "off").
 
 
 ##
 ## Global settings (useful for setting up in /usr/local/etc/wgetrc).
 ## Think well before you change them, since they may reduce wget's
 ## functionality, and make it behave contrary to the documentation:
 ##
 
 # You can set retrieve quota for beginners by specifying a value
 # optionally followed by 'K' (kilobytes) or 'M' (megabytes).  The
 # default quota is unlimited.
 quota = 1000m
 
 # You can lower (or raise) the default number of retries when
 # downloading a file (default is 20).
 #tries = 20
 
 # Lowering the maximum depth of the recursive retrieval is handy to
 # prevent newbies from going too "deep" when they unwittingly start
 # the recursive retrieval.  The default is 5.
 #reclevel = 5
 
 # Many sites are behind firewalls that do not allow initiation of
 # connections from the outside.  On these sites you have to use the
 # `passive' feature of FTP.  If you are behind such a firewall, you
 # can turn this on to make Wget use passive FTP by default.
 #passive_ftp = off
 
 # The "wait" command below makes Wget wait between every connection.
 # If, instead, you want Wget to wait only between retries of failed
 # downloads, set waitretry to maximum number of seconds to wait (Wget
 # will use "linear backoff", waiting 1 second after the first failure
 # on a file, 2 seconds after the second failure, etc. up to this max).
 waitretry = 10
 
 
 ##
 ## Local settings (for a user to set in his $HOME/.wgetrc).  It is
 ## *highly* undesirable to put these settings in the global file, since
 ## they are potentially dangerous to "normal" users.
 ##
 ## Even when setting up your own ~/.wgetrc, you should know what you
 ## are doing before doing so.
 ##
 
 # Set this to on to use timestamping by default:
 #timestamping = off
 
 # It is a good idea to make Wget send your email address in a `From:'
 # header with your request (so that server administrators can contact
 # you in case of errors).  Wget does *not* send `From:' by default.
 #header = From: Your Name <username@site.domain>
 
 # You can set up other headers, like Accept-Language.  Accept-Language
 # is *not* sent by default.
 #header = Accept-Language: en
 
 # You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http and ftp.
 # They will override the value in the environment.
 #http_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
 #ftp_proxy = http://proxy.yoyodyne.com:18023/
 
 # If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
 #use_proxy = on
 
 # You can customize the retrieval outlook.  Valid options are default,
 # binary, mega and micro.
 #dot_style = default
 
 # Setting this to off makes Wget not download /robots.txt.  Be sure to
 # know *exactly* what /robots.txt is and how it is used before changing
 # the default!
 robots = off
 
 # It can be useful to make Wget wait between connections.  Set this to
 # the number of seconds you want Wget to wait.
 #wait = 0
 
 # You can force creating directory structure, even if a single is being
 # retrieved, by setting this to on.
 #dirstruct = off
 
 # You can turn on recursive retrieving by default (don't do this if
 # you are not sure you know what it means) by setting this to on.
 #recursive = off
 
 # To always back up file X as X.orig before converting its links (due
 # to -k / --convert-links / convert_links = on having been specified),
 # set this variable to on:
 #backup_converted = off
 
 # To have Wget follow FTP links from HTML files by default, set this
 # to on:
 #follow_ftp = off
