> another problem about -N option:

   No, it's the same problem with the "-O" option, which does not work
the way you seem to think that it works.  If you go to
"http://www.mail-archive.com/wget@sunsite.dk/";, and search for "-O", you
can find a large number of similar complaints with the same explanations
for why.

   For example, wget allows multiple URL's on a command line.  Which one
should it use for the time-stamp with "-O"?

   Really?  What was "expected"?  With "-O", the output file is always
opened (created) before any communication with the server(s), so it's
always very new.  It's not obvious to me why adding a directory to
"name" would make any difference in wget's behavior in this case.
