Yi,
First of all networking related questions should go to
linux-net@vger.kernel.org. Now for ur question.
cwnd has got significance in the sending side of a TCP connection. Its the
sender that keeps changing the cwnd based on the ACKs recvd. If you are
using wget for downloading a file and you are expecting cwnd to change on
the wget side, then the answer is that since wget is *only* receiving
data, cwnd will not change on wget side. It will change on the other side.
If you are checking for cwnd on the other side then please ignore my
answer.
Thanx
tomar
