Request for feature
Hi, I looked through wget --help and I couldn't find a way to mirror a site. Specifically, there are some Linux sites that put updated *.rpm files on their site. For example, foo-3.2.rpm would be replaced by foo-3.5.rpm. When I use 'wget -m --passive-ftp', it would download the new file (foo-3.5.rpm) but will not delete the old file, foo-3.2.rpm. Is there a way to have wget mirror exactly a ftp site? If not, this might be a good feature to add. Thanks. JGet your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

And all that it is need to add is a small delay when the rate exceeds some limit. This has been debated several times. The sentiment seems to be that, while the "add-a-small-delay" implementation of download limitating makes some people wince, it's the only practical and portable way of implementing the feature. It's only that nobody has sent a decent patch that implements it. BTW, mswindows.c::my_path() can be much more easy: Great! Please note that the maintainers don't work on Windows, which means that we depend on Windows hackers -- like you -- to help us out. Have you tried compiling Wget with changed ws_mypath() to verify that it works?
