Hum, yes and no. Yes, the method would work - BUT httrack
names links BEFORE actually downloading them ; and knowing
that a link is the same as another obne is in fact useless
AFTER downloading it, unfortunately.
Yes, the engine could generate on-the-fly links, waiting
for all pending files to be completed ; but this would
cause other problems, and would slow down the whole
download process in a terrible way.
