[NTLUG:Discuss] Offline browsing/mirroring utility

[Kenneth Loafman]

Neil,

I can't see to get it to stop either, even with the --no-span-hosts
option turned on.  Thankfully, it only retrieves the pages that allow it
to display the page and does not try to traverse Amazon or the others.
Maybe that's intentional, but it does seem there should be a filter that
says to stay on this site only.

I must admit the man page for wget is rather obscure, even for an old
UNIX hacker like me.  There's probably something to do what we want, but
I just don't see it now.  Googling is somewhat useless since all of the
sites seem to plagiarize each other, all with the same bad info.
