[ale] [ALE] WGET help

[William Bagwell]

Has been years and on a different computer so not in my bash history. I 
remember it defaulting to pulling every file at or below the link and not 
following any external links. So the "--no-parent" may be causing your 
problem. 

Twice when I learned of someone passing and once when a small company was 
lost in a divorce, downloaded and archived entire smallish websites. 
So wget -r www.somecritersite.com was what I think I used. 

Oh, and absolutely shocked it worked!
