I've attached a patch against trunk with Giuseppe's proposed re-wording.

English is not my native language, but a quick read gives the impression of a repeated word, and this «download TO» doesn't sound well to me.

BTW, I left over this «to» myself, as I meant:

-nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would overwrite existing files

Anyway, I'd say that your suggestion about adding «(overwriting them)» is an improvement over the original one.

Thanks.

to me the current message seems clearer than your suggestion.
What doesn't seem clear there?

Is this clearer?

-nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would download to existing files (overwriting them).

There is a typo in the help message:

-nc, --no-clobber skip downloads that would download to existing files.

Should probably be:

skip downloads that would OVERWRITE to existing files.
