Hi Tito !

>Why? works for me.

Works, yes, but needs additional process (and memory resources)
for the extra shell (except on some bash versions, tending to
optimize the last command). The exec replaces the shell in memory
with the wget, this avoids forking and release memory early,
otherwise occupied by the shell (until wget exits)
