   Close enough.  With "-O", Wget opens the output file before it does
any transfers, so when the program gets serious about the transfer, the
file will exist, and that will confuse the "-nc" processing.

   This is just one more case of "-O" not working well with other
options.  The fixes for these problems (when possible) are generally
much more complicated than simply not using "-O" with other options when
it causes trouble.
