Re: [Bug-wget] mirror delete missing files

[Darshit Shah]

Hi,

Nope, as far as I'm aware, there is absolutely no plan to add such a 
feature to Wget. Wget is primarily a tool for downloading web resources, 
not for maintaining a sync. Sure, you can use it to archive a website, 
to keep it in sync, there are other, more specialised utilities such as 
`rsync`.

However, if someone were to contribute a patch, along with relevant test 
cases, we might consider such a feature.
