Details:

If you specify the --no-clobber switch with the -O option to specify the
output directory, it will invariably not download the file reporting "file
already there".

e.g.:

# rm /tmp/foo
# ls -l /tmp/foo
ls: cannot access /tmp/foo: No such file or directory
# wget --version                              
GNU Wget 1.11.1
...
# wget --no-clobber -O /tmp/foo http://gnu.org
File `/tmp/foo' already there; not retrieving.
# ls -l /tmp/foo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 12 12:39 /tmp/foo
