How to save timestamps on downloaded media files from discord?

[bemoreblueberry]

I'd like to preserve the server timestamps on dowloaded media files from discord, however I noticed that the default result is either the date of creation or just a few minutes/hour difference of date created to modified. Is there an additional workaround for this?

For context my method is to scraped direct media links and put it together on a .txt file instead of the method from #7059 (which I don't really understand on how to execute it, but also to avoid clutter as well).

You probably want --mtime date. This sets files' mtime to the date/time of when they where posted.

The default mtime value is the timestamp of the server's Last-Modified response header, by the way.
