Hello. When using '--timestamping --retr-symlinks', the time stamping logic seem to compare the date of the symbolic link with the local copy of the file. But wget will download the real file, and set the local date to the same as the real file. So if the symbolic link, on the server, has a newer date than the real file, wget will download the real file every time.
I think the timestamp checking logic should be changed, so that when --retr-symlinks is specified, and the file on the server is a symbolic link, wget use the date of the real server file instead of the date of the server symlink. Thanks.
