BackupCentral.com uses some URLs like
http://www.backupcentral.com/cgi-bin/redirect?url=http://www.stor2b.com/index.php
to go to other places.  wget will hit that url (since it's in the
domain you wanted) and will get redirected to another place, and will
store that file.  It isn't traversing the rest of their site, though.

AFAICT, there's no way to stop it from following redirects to other
sites.  Just don't worry about it.
