[ale] wget

[Christopher Bergeron]

wget -r -l0 http://url.com/

be careful though, this will traverse _every_ link.  Including ad's and all
thier links.  You've been warned, but hopefully this will help.  I'm certain
the -l flag is what you want, and you can put different levels on it's
"recursivity" (if that's a word).  Check the man page for details, but look
for " -l "

I'm attempting to recursively retrieve a web site using wget.  My
expectation is that it would travel down all the directories trees and
get every file.  I've tried various options, but none seem to do what I
would like.  Clues would be helpful.

For example if I execute the following:
wget -m www.foo.net/user-dir/



I was expecting everything under user-dir (directories and there
contents) would be retrieved.  As the -m option includes '-l inf' my
expectation was that it would traverse
www.foo.net/user-dir/dir0/...../dirN/

Suggestions?
