hi!

  this is intended imo, wget cannot know if to continue file or
  if it is different and not to continue...

  you probably want to give just -c which will continue
  all files you want to download and if a file is already downloaded
  it will be skipped (1.7+ only, previous versions won't work)

  so it is not bug but wad :)

P! Vladi.
