Hi, I think the following happens due to a bug in wget unable to look into a subdirectory for the file to be restarted in download:
$ wget -Nr -nH --no-proxy ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/daily-nc/nc*flat.gz ... --04:35:16-- ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genbank/daily-nc/nc0727.flat.gz => `genbank/daily-nc/nc0727.flat.gz' ==> CWD /genbank/daily-nc ... done. ==> PASV ... done. ==> RETR nc0727.flat.gz ... done.
