Hello,

I am using wget mainly as resuming downloader for big files over FTP 
and slow connections. I don't know how common this kind of usage for 
wget is, but I have following problem:
Many of the sites I am downloading from have a dynamic dns address.
Now, if one of those servers reconnects with a different IP, wget can't 
resume the download in my absence, because it trys the old adress.
I couldn't find any option to tell it to "re-resolve" IPs.

How about a new option like

-rr number
--reresolve=number

where number is the intervall of resume trys when wget should resolve 
the adress again. So number=30 would say that wget re-resolves the IP 
every 30th try.

I dont know much about the work this would cause and the need for this 
option. So perhaps someone could comment on this?

Thank you!


Klaus
