Using this command i try to mirror a website, but i had some interruptions
(5-6), and tried to restart wget mirroring, but i saw that it is redownloading
all files. 
(40000+ files)

wget   --mirror  --page-requisites    --html-extension    --convert-links   -c
  www.literotica.com/  2>&1 | tee -a wget_log

"
So what to do? 

I have read in forums that --convert-links and -nc options are not working
together. 

I set all downloaded wget files (not directories) in linux read only. Didnt
work. It stopt at first file (index.html). Probably, Convert links needs to
access already downloaded files. 


Questions / Requests

1) Why wget dont make a list of links that are converted therefore no need to
rewrite-already downloaded files? 
2) Why you dont have an explicit command to not rewrite downloaded already
files even with convert-link option? What is the problem here? And to simply
read already downloaded files without rewritting in whatever condition are
these files? 
- I suppose that it will be very simple the conversion from
"https://www.exmaple.com"; to "/home/". 
So why it fails wget to proceed when i set already downloaded files to read
only (not directories)? 

What other options i have to continue mirroring with convert links without
redownloading all files again?

I have seen this question so many times in stackoverflow, and all people says
there is no solution. 
It is so hard to apply a solution to that problem?

sincerely,
Elias Estatisticseu
