wget doesn't understand daylight savings time, and is writing
file dates that are in the past!   I expect you will be 
disinclined to believe this bug report, as I was disinclined
to believe that anyone could have *introduced* this bug, but
here is the evidence:

I am in PDT, and my machine knows it:

    % date '+%z %Z'
    -0700 PDT

I download a URL, and save the headers:

    % rm live.jpg ; \
      wget -t1 -T5 -qs http://nucleus.dnalounge.com/cam/live.jpg

The file has a GMT Last-Modified header that is close to the
current time (18:38 GMT == 11:38 PDT):

    % grep -a Last-Modified live.jpg
    Last-Modified: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 18:38:53 GMT

The file date that wget chose is an hour in the past:

    % ls -lG --full live.jpg
    -rw-r--r--    1 root    30146 Tue Apr 10 10:38:53 2001 live.jpg

10:38 (the file date) would have been 17:38 GMT:

    % date -u --date="4/10/2001 10:38"
    Tue Apr 10 17:38:00 UTC 2001

wget 1.5.3, Red Hat Linux 6.2 (2.2.14.)
