Package: wget Version: 1.12-2.1 Severity: normal Hello,
the wget parameter --backup-converted does not work properly. It should create a backup copy of downloaded files when these files are altered by wget. An example is the use of --adjust-extension which adds a .html extension to the file name if it has type text/html and does not end with .htm or .html. I tried the following command to download recursively a part of a website: wget --backup-converted -nc -k --adjust-extension -A *.gif,*133579* -l 0 -nd -R null.gif -I /film/133579,/m/kleioc/0010/exec/bigpage -r http://dlib-pr.mpier.mpg.de/m/kleioc/0010/exec/bigpage/%22133579_00000001.gif%22 You may try it out, the resulting files will be renamed according to the --adjust-extension parameter, but --backup-converted has no effect as no backup copies of the original files will be created. This leads to the problem described in manual section 2.7: wget re-downloads every file when mirroring. The solution proposed in manual section 2.7 is the use of --backup-converted, which, as has been shown, does not work.
