  A big thank you to everyone who responded. The -C option was what I 
needed.

Background. I fetch very large files of FQDN of bad website on the world 
network to block them. On 2/23/2022 Russians against Putins war in 
Ukraine hacked the site and loaded scripts that use wget and are 
intended to attach sites in Russia for a DOS attack. Its my 
understanding that all contact with the public internet from Russia has 
been disable already by the service provider. So they can not get out 
and we can not get in.

The point here is be aware that there are for sure other websites that 
have been hacked in this matter.  FREE UKRAINA, STOP THE WAR.
