I've been thinking about coding a --extra-sensory-perception option that would cause wget to read the mind of the server so that it can download files that it cannot see. As soon as I get the algorithm worked out, I'll be submitting the patch. So far I've figured out how to download index.html without being able to see it, but I'm sure that if I keep working at it that wget will be able to detect the rest of the files it cannot see. Of course, I could just be taking the wrong approach; it may work better if I try to implement the --psychic option instead. Tony
--timestamping and big files?
I think --timestamping fails for files > 2Gb wget tries to download the file again with the .1 extension (as if you were not using --timestamping). This only happens to a big file in a list of files I am wgetting.
