clobbering is implicitly disabled with the -nd option:

  -nd
       --no-directories
           Do not create a hierarchy of directories when retrieving
           recursively.  With this option turned on, all files will
           get saved to the current directory, without clobbering (if
           a name shows up more than once, the filenames will get
           extensions .n).

Have a nice day,
