Follow-up Comment #1:

Hi,

This is expected behaviour. If you're using Wget to mirror a directory, you
should try using the --mirror option which sets multiple correct options
automatically.

In your particular case, you asked for no-clobber. This means Wget will not
replace the original file in case it was changed. Thus the index.html or
whichever file links to the new file will not be updated on disk. As a result,
Wget doesn't know of the existence of the new file and won't download it.

Do you really need -nc when running with -r? What is your usecase?

when only one file get changed,deleted or added on 200 files, the wget
consider all the files not changed and doesn't download the new ones.

hope you can fix this soon

Thanks
