    Hi there, I've looked through the forums without finding an answer to this.
    When using the Windows version of wget, can I tell it to only download the
    file if the copy on the server is newer? If so, how do I do this? (It looks
    like the unix version can do it with the -c switch, but from my reading of the
    --help output -c in the Windows version is a continue option.

    Thanks!

    Looks like I'm a moron. :) The -N switch appears to do it.

    Sorry.

    If you also want to compare the md5 or sha checksums before downloading you
    have to write a small batch file or shell script. I believe there is a Gnuwin
    `md5sum' utility or else go to Activestate.com for a standalone version.
