It not only restores the deleted file fully, but also 
reloads other files unnecessarily.

I did this:
- Got WinHTTrack to mirror <http://www.verbis.net/httest/>
  (6 files, time 18:11), 
   Checked "don't reload..." before
- Went to local directory and deleted file "cats1.html"
  (See: <http://www.verbis.net/cats1_old.html>)
- Made update(!) with WinHTTrack, same project, same options
- cats1.html reappeared with new mirror time (18:12)
  (See in <http://www.verbis.net/_htdel.zip>)
  cats2.html has apparently been reloaded, too.

Error log shows %n option, and all 6 files have been 
written!
