No, it doesn't.  I have a version which uses wget datestamping
(and had to work around a bug in wget:  you can't use both -O 
and --datestamping).  The problem is, the date stamps on the
server keep changing even when the content is identical.  The
server script ought to compare the files and replace with the
newer one only if they are different.

And of course, how about the windows version?
