I'm not sure I follow. You did an index, then you did an update,
which you stopped at some point and restarted?

There isn't any sort of merging in 3.2. AFAIK, it's also pretty hard
(in 3.2) to kill a good database unless you're running two processes
on top of one set of databases. In 3.1.5 and before, htdig will stop
if you hit Control-C without cleaning up. In later versions, there's
a handler for that which makes sure everything is set before quitting.

The new HTTP code in 3.2 has a set of attributes, such as getting a
header (HEAD) before downloading the document. It's sometimes a win
on servers that support the HEAD request. (Depends on how long
documents are, etc.)
