Suppose I need to excluded links that start with xyz with the
following option. However,
wget --mirror \
--limit-rate=400k \
--no-parent \
--no-host-directories \
--wait=5 \
--random-wait \
--convert-links \
--cut-dirs=2 \
--reject "xyz*" \
--directory-prefix=directory_prefix \
-o logs/directory_prefix.log \
some.web.com/xyz_want_to_download
Wget still download the files that match the pattern 'xyz*'. But it
deletes them after they are downloaded. See the output below from
wget.
Removing xyz_link_name since it should be rejected.
I'm wondering what should be the way to not to download the link
starting with 'xyz*' at all.
Also I need to keep the start link some.web.com/xyz_want_to_download.
However, wget delete them as well. Is there a way to keep it?
