That seems to break the principle of least surprise as well. If such

what are you exactly suggesting to do? to keep the current behavior
of -O allowing only single downloads?
Huh? -O doesn't currently allow only single downloads -- multiple
downloads are appended to the same output file.
let me rephrase. are you suggesting to modify the current behavior of to
of -O to allow only single downloads? if you think the current behavior
is fine, we should probably at least document that the -k, -N, -p
options won't work with -O and exit printing an error message in case
they are used.
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.
good idea.
