I consider "success" to be "wget downloaded the files on the command line" (and possibly related files, e.g., --mirror). Even if it didn't download a file because of the conditions I put on the download, I think that's still a failure worthy of a status code. There could even be an status code reserved for "file(s) not downloaded because of user-specified restrictions." I wouldn't include filtering options (such as --mirror --accept=jpg), but I would include --timestamping (the topic of this thread) and --no-clobber. (I realize that might sound like a contradiction, but it makes sense to me. :-) Tony
