Hi,

This is expected behaviour. If you're using Wget to mirror a directory, you should try using the --mirror option which sets multiple correct options automatically.

In your particular case, you asked for no-clobber. This means Wget will not replace the original file in case it was changed. Thus the index.html or whichever file links to the new file will not be updated on disk. As a result, Wget doesn't know of the existence of the new file and won't download it.

Do you really need -nc when running with -r? What is your usecase?

when running wget -r --no-parent -nc  https://www.example-com/directory

when only one file get changed,deleted or added on 200 files, the wget consider all the files not changed and doesn't download the new ones.

hope you can fix this soon

Thanks

Kele
