Details:
Hello,
the wget parameter --backup-converted does not work properly. It should
create
a backup copy of downloaded files when these files are altered by wget. An
example is the use of --adjust-extension which adds a .html extension to the
file name if it has type text/html and does not end with .htm or .html.
I tried the following command to download recursively a part of a website:
wget --backup-converted -nc -k --adjust-extension -A *.gif,*133579* -l 0 -nd
-R null.gif -I /film/133579,/m/kleioc/0010/exec/bigpage -r
http://dlib-pr.mpier.mpg.de/m/kleioc/0010/exec/bigpage/%22133579_00000001.gif%22
You may try it out, the resulting files will be renamed according to the
--adjust-extension parameter, but --backup-converted has no effect as no
backup copies of the original files will be created. This leads to the
problem
described in manual section 2.7: wget re-downloads every file when mirroring.
The solution proposed in manual section 2.7 is the use of --backup-converted,
which, as has been shown, does not work.
