Como man wget
explica:
--no-use-server-timestamps
Don't set the local file's timestamp by the one on the server.
By default, when a file is downloaded, its timestamps are set to
match those from the remote file. This allows the use of
--timestamping on subsequent invocations of wget. However, it is
sometimes useful to base the local file's timestamp on when it was
actually downloaded; for that purpose, the
--no-use-server-timestamps option has been provided.
Ou seja, para fazer com que o registro de data e hora no arquivo baixado represente quando foi criado na máquina local, use o sinalizador --no-use-server-timestamps

A vantagem do comportamento padrão, como explicado na página do manual, é no caso de você querer recuperar o arquivo novamente mais tarde, baixando-o automaticamente somente se houver um novo disponível.
