I am using wget 1.10.2 (last time compiled with mingw32 on windows, but I
use it on other platforms too).
When I download file from server, timestamp is set to match the file on
server. This may be appropriate for some users, but for me it is more
important the time I have downloaded the file, not the time server tells
about it. I found no option to turn off the timestamping in the "wget --
help" option list. As I looked briefly in the source, there seem to be no
option to turn this off.
I think adding some switch to turn off timestamping (i.e. do not touch()
the file and ignore time from the server) would be nice (preferably
something that can be put into wgetrc...), so I won't get to patch and
compile every time new wget comes out on every system I come to ...
This should be easy to make and include in the wget source (Maybe the
toughest part will be to find some unused letter for the option :)

I've got the same problem and would be happy to have such a switch.
