On a server redirect from HTTP to a FTP resource, wget would trust
the HTTP server and uses the name in the redirected URL as the
destination filename.
This behaviour was changed and now it works similarly as a redirect
from HTTP to another HTTP resource so the original name is used as
the destination file. To keep the previous behaviour the user must
provide --trust-server-names.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version
1.13.4-3+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your wget packages.
