Hi Jason! If I understood you correctly, this quote from the manual should help you: ******* Note that these two options [accept and reject based on filenames] do not affect the downloading of HTML files; Wget must load all the HTMLs to know where to go at all--recursive retrieval would make no sense otherwise. *******
If you are seeing wget behaviour different from this, please a) update your wget and b) provide more details where/how it happens. CU & good luck!
