Why are you so insistant that the '2>&1' is misplaced? It is perfectly
well placed for its purpose, which is to allow the processing of stderr
but not stdout by the pipeline.

Sorry, this won't work for the OP, since 'Not Retrieving' because the
file
isn't newer does not return an error.

But leaving out the misplaced error redirect, '2>&1', or even both
redirections (since it seems there IS no stdout from wget), in the
original script would still work.
