Hi all:

I'm using LFTP Version 3.7.6 (the one that comes with Cygwin), and I'm doing 
some tests like this:

  mirror --verbose --loop --delete

It looks like, by default, LFTP will compare timestamps and skip files that are 
up-to-date, is that right?

However, if I add "--continue" to the argument list, LFTP will not check the 
timestamps any more. That means, if the file contents have changed in the mean 
time, I will end up with a corrupt file.

Shouldn't "--continue" check the timestamp, and, if it has changed, restart the 
file download from the beginning?

In any case, I would welcome some clarification on LFTP's man page to the 
behaviour of "--continue" in that respect.

Please CC me on the answer, as I'm not subscribed to this list.

Many thanks,
  Ruben
