Re: [Wget-dev] wget2 | no append .1 after extension please (#404)

[Darshit Shah]

Appending a counter at the end of the file is the standard Unix way of doing 
this. Even logrotate appends a similar counter at the end of the filename.

I would claim that most Unix sysadmins and users are accustomed to this and 
would expect exactly this approach.

And as you mentioned globbing is a major factor here. Simple appending has the 
advantage of making globbing very easy compared to the case where you modify 
the filename.
