Running this command: rm *.jpg ; wget -O usscole_000090.jpg -nc --random-wait --referer=http://www.pianoladynancy.com/recovery_usscole.htm -- http://www.pianoladynancy.com/images/usscole_000090.jpg
generates the error: File `usscole_000090.jpg' already there; not retrieving. However: rm *.jpg ; wget -O usscole_000091.jpg -nc --random-wait --referer=http://www.pianoladynancy.com/recovery_usscole.htm -- http://www.pianoladynancy.com/images/usscole_000090.jpg ; mv usscole_000091.jpg usscole_000090.jpg works just fine. It seems to me that the -O option has wget touching the file which wget then detects. Because of the -nc option, it doesn't continue the download, though it's a file that wget had just created. -Phil/CERisE
