write the file only into ram and then write to hard disk only at the end.

How much memory do you have? If you want only 1 write to hard drive you will need to know the size of the download so you can make the RAM disk.

You might try recompiling 'wget' with the logging function writing to a NULL device.

Or you might be creative and bold and look at the '-o' flag. Doesn't it redirect the log output, this could be a NULL device.
