Maintain original creation/modified dates of files while downloading

[Thorf13]

Would it be possible to download files without changing their timestamps to the time of download? I’m interested in seeing the original date stamps on the files I download, for research purposes. (I realise they may well already have been changed by the crawling software, but I haven’t been able to ascertain even this fact yet.)

It’s my understanding from other download programs that this may be possible, but I don’t know the technical details, so I thought it best to ask.

Thanks!

I love this tool but I would really agree. Have you found a solution?

On my Mac, every file has a "date added", "date modified" and "date created" that reflects the time I download not the original date.

Any ideas or workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
