If u browse a website frequently, u should have know which part is updated,
isn't it?Or I just want certain part to be updated, and retain all other parts
structure at the same time, tis is what called an "update".

Let say u're running a movie website, ur website contains several
sub-directories to categorize all the movies' genres which go like this
www.movie.com/genres/comedy
www.movie.com/genres/horror
www.movie.com/genres/sci-fic
www.movie.com/genres/action
.
.
.
U hav got some movies to be updated into the "horror" today, will you delete
all others for just tis update? 
U won't b'coz it doesn't make sense at all, isn't it?same thing applies to
httrack. 
Httrack update is just like performing a whole new ripping project instead of
"Update", if u know what i mean......

It would be good to have the old files retained as well as the structure at
the same time, tis is wat an "Update" should be looked like.
