'Set Options'/'Build'/'Do not purge old files'

But if httrack erased files, it might be because the remote 
site also deleted them (the engine always tried to match 
the remote structure)
If there was problems (bad proxy, for example, or dns 
problems) during the mirror, it is possible that httrack 
wiped files, because it could not make the difference 
between remote errors (404, 500..) and connection problems.

BTW - httrack should not touch other projects when wiping 
files, isn't it?
