Wget seems to have a miserable bug with the -N and -O options that causes it to always download the selected file. This is not the case with curl.

wget -N -O phish.ndb http://[fqdn]/phish.ndb does not work as expected.
I verified this again this am.

In this case the -O option is unnecessary as the file already has the correct name. I've been using wget -N http://[fqdn]/phish.ndb for quite some time and it works correctly (download phish.ndb to current directory only if newer than existing phish.ndb).
I'm using GNU Wget 1.10.2 on FreeBSD


I'd recommend rsync with unsorted plain text files and where you add new

Yes, rsync is easy to use and would be perfect for limiting bandwidth to a small fraction of what is used now. Please consider this option.
