Use .wgetrc for default wget settings.

I use wget quite a lot and in the end I always end up using a large number of common options like

-c (to continue/resume a wget process)
--no-check-certificate (ignore ssl certificate check over https)

which eventually make it look very ugly but thanks to .wgetrc I no longer has to do it.

Create a .wgetrc file onto your home directory

JFI, Here how my current .wgetrc look.

continue=on     ## equivalent to -c options
check_certificate=off  ## equivalent to --no-check-certificate

Noting it down here so I just don't forget it future.

Thanks
