I'm using wget version "GNU Wget 1.10.2 (Red Hat modified)" on a fedora core5 x86_64 system (standard wget rpm). I'm also using version 1.10.2b on a WinXP laptop. Both display the same faulty behaviour which I don't believe was present in earlier versions of wget that I've used.
When the internet connection disconnects wget automatically tries to redownload the file (starting from where it was disconnected). The problem is that it is consistently failing to find the file. The following output shows what is happening. wget -c ftp://bio-mirror.jp.apan.net/pub/biomirror/blast/nr.*.tar.gz --13:13:34-- ftp://bio-mirror.jp.apan.net/pub/biomirror/blast/nr.*.tar.gz => `.listing' Resolving bio-mirror.jp.apan.net... 150.26.2.58 Connecting to bio-mirror.jp.apan.net|150.26.2.58|:21... connected.

No such file `nr.01.tar.gz'. You can see that there are two files to be downloaded nr.00.tar.gz and nr.01.tar.gz. Both downloads get interrupted and after the Control connection is closed the reattempt fails to find the file. This is consistent repeatable behaviour. I have checked and the files are there and have not moved or altered in any way. I believe that the problem is almost certainly associated with the logged item "CWD not required" after a reconnect.
