You're right. Wget assumes local time zone and sets the local time stamp. Even if the time stamp is not correct (because of time zone difference), it will be *the same* incorrect time stamp each time around and mirroring will work. > But it leads to a situation, that wget creates files with time > stamps much older, than the files actually are. Or newer -- yes. Until MLST/MDTM are supported, there is no good cure for this (that I can think of). > I wouldn't mind making wget believe (maybe through setting the > environment variable "TZ") it actually "lives" in New-England, > although it "lives" here in Europe. That might work. Wget uses the library functions for time conversions, and they should respect TZ.
