Details:
The wget(1) man page says under the "-nc" option:
When running Wget with -N, with or without -r or -p, the
decision as to whether or not to download a newer copy of a
file depends on the local and remote timestamp and size of
the file. -nc may not be specified at the same time as -N.
But under the "-N" option is nothing:
-N
--timestamping
Turn on time-stamping.
This might be confusing because users reading the documentation might expect
"-N" to be documented under "-N" rather than "-nc". Presumably it should say
something like
-N
--timestamping
Turn on timestamping. When running Wget with -N, with or
without -r or -p, the decision as to whether or not to
download a newer copy of a file depends on the local and
remote timestamp and size of the file. -nc may not be
specified at the same time as -N.
-nc
...
-nc may not be specified at the same time as -N (--timestamping).
