Hi Marcel, wget downloads "http://www.mfd.mw.tu-dresden.de/mfd/index.php/lehre/wintersemester/videos-winter";, parses it for URLs and in the end this document becomes removed because it doesn't fit your settings.
Your '-A asx' means: Just download/keep *.asx files Your '--accept-regex videos' means: Just download/keep *video* files That means, you only want to download *video*.asx files. Is that what you want ? Did you try -A '*.pdf' -R '*.asx' ? (Quotes to avoid shell wildcard expansion.) Sorry, but I can only reach the login page... else I could have a look deeper inside. Right now I just have to guess. Maybe you could give us an example HTML page.
