How does this not cause too much overhead. When I have a 
>40Mb mirror, and I begin to update it, then interrupt, I 
end up with a few meg of files. Since this site doesn't 
change much, re-downloading 37 meg of data seems like a 
huge amount of overhead considering I only have a dialup 
connection. Why are the files deleted anyway? I thought an 
update would just check files for changes and re-download 
them if changed, plus adding new files since the last 
mirror operation. 

Sorry if I'm being a pain. I really like httrack and have 
used it a lot. However this is the first time I've tried an 
update. And yes I would use the --continue switch, but 
haven't got to that point yet. Still trying to work out why 
all my files are deleted!
