   "windows version" does not reveal the wget version.  The output from
"wget -V" might.

   The final speed reported ("(118.64 KB/s)") should be the average
speed for the whole download, that is, the full byte count divided by
the full download time.

   The final speed reported ("(118.64 KB/s)") should be what you want,
and it's unlikely that any simple calculation using the intermediate
rates will give you what you want.

   Some algebra would be helpful to explain why not.  An old related
problem looks like this:

   A motorist is making a trip of 100km.  After traveling for one hour,
he notices that he has gone only 50km.  How fast does he need to go for
the next 50km to get an average speed for the whole trip of 100 km/h?
