GNU Wget Manual
8.6 Signals
Since the purpose of Wget is background work, it catches the hangup
signal (SIGHUP) and ignores it. If the output was on standard
output, it will be redirected to a file named `wget-log'.
Otherwise, SIGHUP is ignored. This is convenient when you wish
to redirect the output of Wget after having started it.

$ kill -HUP %% # Redirect the output to wget-log
|
Other than that, Wget will not try to interfere with signals in any way.
C-c, kill -TERM and kill -KILL should kill it alike.
