Q: wget command to download a file and save as a different filename

I am downloading a file using the wget command. But when it downloads to my local machine, I want it to be saved as a different filename. For example: I am downloading a file from www.examplesite.com/textfile.txt I want to use wget to save the file textfile.txt on my local directory as newfile....
