suggestion for wget

[Jonathan Nichols]

hello,

    i have a suggestion for the wget program.  would it be possible to
have a command line option that, when invoked, would tell wget to
preserve the modification date when transfering the file??  the
modification time would then reflect the last time the file was modified
on the remote machine, as opposed to the last time it was modified on
the local machine.  i know that the cp command has this option (-p).  is
this reasonable/possible for wget??

thanks,

jon
