I'm using a GPRS connection for the web. So it's pretty slow.

The thing is that I use a g_timeout_add loop to make this work, so when it
gets to the point of wget then when it finishes the loop tries to keep up
and loops pretty fast making more wget commands which stalls my system.

It depends on what it is that takes all that time when using wget.

Here's one example of how to do it:
