Err, no.. the only hack would be to devalidate the files to 
be updated in the cache (by mangling the corresponding file 
entry names in hts-cache/new.ndx), and run a "--continue" 
(Continue an interrupted mirror) session ; but this would 
require some scripting ; such as

cat hts-cache/new.ndx | sed -e 's_/tobeupdated_/XXX_' > 
_tmp && mv -f _tmp hts-cache/new.ndx
