Problem

I had the bad surprise that wget doesn't redownload when a file of the same name already exist. Is there an option to force him to redownload without deleting the file first on linux ?

Low Risk

Or, if you are mirroring, you can use the flag. This will make it so the files are "continued", but since they're already at the size the server is telling wget, it will "continue" them from the beginning.
