*** Hi all. IMO this feature should NOT be part of wget functionality. I would like to have wget only FTP/HTTP downloader (with the most features of FTP and HTTP like authentications etc), but not functions specific for some other protocols. You can do the requested functionality in shell script and linux basic utilities like diff, sed/grep, dd etc. Bye. Wolf.
