As far as I can tell, it doesn't do anything (but this does not mean I reviewed the code). I would be willing to help debug the code (and possibly fix it, but that may be beyond my knowledge of FTP protocol). I would be willing to push Satoshi to make -r a default FETCH_BEFORE_ARGS option, since it would ensure that downloads are made in the most efficient manner possible. -- Will Andrews <andrewsw@purdue.edu> <will@FreeBSD.org> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
