[Bug-wget] overwrite

[taschenberggroup]

   Hi,

   a common question online is how to properly force wget to make an
   overwrite of an existing file name.

   The existing options are quite confusing and I am under the impression
   that even taking what works does not imply users understand what they
   do.

   The background of my question is
   https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43100
   and your section in the manual
"When running Wget without ‘-N’, ‘-nc’, ‘-r’, or ‘-p’, downloading the same file
 in the same directory will result in the original copy of file being preserved
and the second copy being named ‘file.1’. If that file is downloaded yet again,
the third copy will be named ‘file.2’, and so on."

   If I want to disable that default behaviour what option do I take? I go
   with -nc but I have no clue why I have to take n and c, and online
   recommendations vary from recommending n, c, and nc.

   I am looking for something intuitive like:
   wget --overwrite[1] https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/Release.key

   Best,
   Ansgar
