It's a known problem. Timestamping doesn't work with FTP URLs over
proxy because the HEAD request is not honored by the proxy for FTP.
Note that your Wget is very old and you should upgrade -- but not
because of this, because this problem has remained.
Sorry that was a typing error, the orginal URL was with a
(double) //
ie.
wget -R *ia64*, *mips* ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/main/
and
wget -N -R *ia64*, *mips* ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/main/
I am attatching the debugged log for the second command
that gives the proxy error. I have tried it
