Well, one of us is confused, and as this is for posterity, as you mention, it's worth clearing it up: Above, you say you're using -r -l0 (minus r space minus ell zero), not -r 10 (minus r space ten). The -l0 (minus ell zero) tells wget to recurse without limit, rather than the default of 5 levels deep. So if 10 is excessive, 0 is even more so! Using -l0 is usually good for making sure you get everything from the site, when you don't know how deep the links actually go. When using other controls on the tree traversal (such as --no-parent, --domains, etc.) you save yourself the trouble of downloading the whole WWW while ensuring that you'll get even the deepest linked files on your particular target site. good times, Vineet -- http://www.doorstop.net/ -- http://www.digitalconsumer.org/
