Just realized that the 'rename' module is missing in bootstrap.conf. This could be the reason and could have been triggered by a gnulib update.

Sounds like a wild guess - well it is =)
Adding 'rename' explicitly to the list of gnulib modules seems to be a good step anyways.

It needs to be confirmed that the latest master branch works doesn't show this bug any more.

Can you confirm that this failure happens also with an older version of wget (e.g. 1.20 or 1.19) ?

The answer could help in tracking down the issue and to find a way to work around it.

When using the --backups=24 option, I get 24 lines like: "Failed to rename file to file.1: (17) File exists"


How do I make it actually rotate my backup files? 

I'm using version 1.21 on Windows 10.
