I'll be darned, you're right. I didn't realize -R behaved differently for html files than for others. But I guess if there's no possibility of any links to follow, there would never be a reason to download an unwanted file, whereas with html there might be some cases where a user would want to reject a file but still follow its links (which at the moment is the only option). Sorry for the mix-up, thanks for setting me straight! DS
