I had understood that this is what the -p and -k options do. If I have misunderstood the -p and -k options, or misconfigured something, please excuse me. Thanks for your time.. PS. The wget command line I used was: wget -H www.objectmentor.com/publications/articlesbysubject.html and my .wgetrc is: WGet RC file to implement the command line parameters: # wget -P webcache -p -nc -l1 -k -A gif,jpg,png # Accepti the following file types accept = gif,jpg,png # Convert links locally convert_links = on # Use FTP follow_ftp = off # Preserve existing files noclobber = on # Ignore the sometimes incorrect content length header. ignore_length = off # Get the requisites for each page page_requisites = on # Use recursive retrieval recursive = off # Levels to recurse reclevel = 1 # Timestamp files timestamping = off # Build the directory tree locally dirstruct = on # Top of the local directory tree dir_prefix = webcache # --EOF -- ------- End of forwarded message ------- ~|~\ /~\ | | |~~ Dave Killick [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | |_| | | |-- +44 (0)1225 475235 _|_/ | | \_/ |__ IPL Information Processing Limited
