Two reasons.  -c (continue) and the need to get the real filename
*after* the download (scraping stdout) as some feeds (ONN) have a
default name for their download URL that is redirected to an actual
file located elsewhere.

It's not a perfect solution; it's a working solution, with room for
improvement  :-)
