Default mode on new files depends first on what the application requests 
on create, but can
be less than that if umask is set for the client process (on mine e.g. 
it is 022) or remotely if
smb.conf umask is set, e.g. on mine was 0744 (presumably would be 
similar to what would happen
if the local process's umask was 033).

Presumably wget is setting the attributes explicitly after file create

Watching the output of "strace touch newfile"
touch seems to create files with mode 0666, which due to your umask 
would end up with:

    0666 & 0744 = 0644

if you had a create mask in smb.conf of 0766 wouldn't that give what you 
want?
