From: n g > 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"? > while > wget url -O name -N > works as expected. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
