Huh? -O doesn't currently allow only single downloads -- multiple downloads are appended to the same output file. I'm suggesting that we should include an option named --save-to (perhaps shortened to -s) that allows specifying an output file independent of what is in the URL. In that case we might want to disallow multiple URLs, or multiple URLs could save to <file>.1, <file>.2, etc.
