Definitely a bug; reproduced with Ubuntu Lucid's wget 1.12. Running with --debug, I see a lot of: Deciding whether to enqueue "http://sourceforge.net/blog/";. Going to "blog" would escape "projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current" with no_parent on. Decided NOT to load it. And then: Deciding whether to enqueue "https://sourceforge.net/blog/";. Allowing path blog/ because of rule `'. Decided to load it. That link was apparently found in https://sourceforge.net/account/login.php So it looks like wget is correctly blocking the http URL, but incorrectly permitting the https URL. Adding -R login.php seems a decent workaround; I let it run awhile (not forever), and it seemed okay, though it did get a single link (so far) outside the expected hierarchy (once again, an https link; this time to a wiki page; the page fortunately appears not to have incurred other renegade links AFAICT). -- HTH, Micah J.
