Yes. It has to download the files before they can be "loaded from the
disk and parsed." When it encounters a file at a given location, it
doesn't have any way to know that that file corresponds to the one it's
trying to download. Timestamping with -N may be more what you want,
rather than -nc?

I'm open to suggestions on clarifying the documentation.
