@WQ, 

now that's impressive! 

I still wonder how that came about,though ... 


@Tim, 

as soon a I have a moment I will take that exe and try it out with my use cases 
and any new options that might be useful to me. 

Anything interesting, I'll let you know.

Hi, 

I just tested the wget2 executable on my Win10 with exactly the same command : 
wget2.exe -O TargetPath\TargetFile [ http://source/ | http://source ] 

And now it's working everywhere, even on the Netgear !!!! 



As you can see, I now get the original DateTme-stamp under all circmstances. 
So that's great news, and will start to use wget2 from now on. 

But, to be clear, I did not do any other tests, so I can't tell if all wget2 
functionality is working properly. 

Thanks for having informed about the exe ! 

Kind regards 

Walter

Hi, 

Thank you for having replied anyway ! 

The testing I did was always with the same server and file. So I'm 100% sure 
about the results (different behaviour on the Netgear) 
When I wrote "path/file" then I did mean something like F:\Download\thefile.txt 
I know the documented -O feature, but it remains unclear why the original 
datetime works locally and on the Thecus, even if it should not (as documented) 
When a local wget (with/without -O) is done followed by a move to the Netgear, 
the time-stamp is ok, I tested that before too. But I'm trying to avoid the 
move as this involves extra time, especially with giga-files. 
Yes, a real renaming mechanism, is a missing option. 

I didn't know about wget2, but it seems there are no compiled versions 
available. 



With the latest release of wget2 (v2.0.1), there is a .exe version available. 
It doesn't have all features yet, but hopefully works. 
I can only test it with a Windows emulation (wine) on Linux.
