great. then use curl. It's acceptable dependence, just as much as wget

Never encountered that myself. And I'm not sure I understand correctly.
I would see whether the file was created -- on the last line of wget
output:
2011-11-05 15:14:18 (340 KB/s) - `foobar.php?flsjffd' saved [521549/521549]
And, of course, rename only if it was downloaded successfully.
