G'day all...
I'm doing some man'ning to no avail here... Is there a way to have wget (downloading via ftp) to remember what it
has successfully downloaded, and not to download the same file again -
even if the file is deleted from disk?
If not, has anyone else had to face this problem before?

wget -nc will stop it downloading an existing file in the same directory, but to do what you're suggesting - if you then move or delete said file you would probably need to do something clever like output to a logfile (-o <file> initially, then -a <file> to append to the same file), then pipe that file back in using an 'exclude' to ignore those files. You'd probably need to wrap that in a script to get it to work correctly though.

HTH,
