if a file is present on the my system, but is a sym-linked file, the file will
get over-written
I manually downloaded a iso image last night,, but I want the rest of that
directory tree which contains small files less than 1Mb, so I wait for wget to
build the tree structure and ^C it as soon as it hits that file (its the 1st
one after 'index.html' - I delete that as well), rm the new partial download,
and sym-link the iso file
Then I restart wget with the same command line, and _zap_ there goes the file
contents.
1) without --no-clobber it should always create .1/.2/etc names, it does not
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60244)
2) with --no-clobber it should never create .1/.2/etc names
(https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34413)
3) with --no-clobber it especially should not over-write anything, at all,
ever
