it does indeed.
in this case, the redirection command would simply write all the
downloaded data to the output without performing any
trasformation. on the other hand, the output filename command could
perform more complex operations,
That seems to break the principle of least surprise as well. If such
an option is specified, maybe Wget should simply refuse to accept more
than a single URL.
what are you exactly suggesting to do? to keep the current behavior of
-O allowing only single downloads?
