Hello,

A forwarded Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/202911

"It seems that if the filename is changed, wget's -N timestamp and size
checking does not work. Or rather, it looks for a local file with whatever
name wget would have saved the file as without the -O, and if it exists, does
the checks on it."

I can reproduced this old report with 1.10.2:
