Description

As of wget 1.11, using both -N and -O doesn't allowed together.

Here is the new wget maintainer's explanation about it:

"-N and -O do not work together, because -N has never had any meaning in combination with -O. -O doesn't mean "use this as a filename"; it means "redirect downloaded content to this file". It creates a new file, or else overwrites an existing one, so the timestamp will always be quite fresh."

I'm not really sure about this anyway...
