Re: [Bug-wget] Any explanation for the '-nc' returned value?

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.
