It isn't a "bug" exactly, but rather it's just the
program does not compare the file size difference when
it's working out whether the file needs updating or
re-downloading. I believe it uses the ETAG when working
out what files to re-download - see earlier thread at:
<http://forum.httrack.com/readmsg.php?id=2091&pid=0&days=14&js=1&lang=en>

Currently, I am not certain of the developers are
looking to include a feature which checks for
interrupted downloaded files. My advice is if your web
connections gets severed, then note down the files
which were interrupted, delete them manually then
re-run the program using the setting continue with
corrupted download.
