Let's take an example in practice.
When there is a bad network connection, I try wget with '-nc' directly first,
if it fails, then I'll try it with proxy. If it says "File * already there ;
not retrieving.", and returns 1 as described (error occurred, failed), that is
so weird!
And '-N' is not always working as desired, because of "Last-modified header
missing". One example:
wget -N https://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/html_node/Download-Options.html

Though strictly speaking, this doesn't say that wget will then exit with error
code 1.
