Currently when a download with timestamping enabled gets interrupted,
the timestamp of the resulting file ends up being the current time and
when wget is re-executed after connectivity is restored the local file
is then seen as newer and skipped.
robocopy handles this a little differently, by setting a date far in the
past as a way of ensuring that on a subsequent execution the transfer
can be resumed.
Is there a better way to handle this situation in wget? A way to force
an old date on the file? I'd be happy with a fixed "in the past" date,
the service supplied date minus a second, etc. Or some way to detect
that the file is incomplete (too small) on a subsequent run?
