Re: Rejecting 'index.html*' files causes recursion to include parent-directories

[Carl Ponder via Primary discussion list for GNU Wget]

Ok here's what worked:

   wget -P dir -r -R 'index.html*' -R '..' -nH -np --cut-dirs

Can anyone tell me why the behavior was happening in the first place, 
though? That excluding "index,html" would cause recursion in the 
parent-directories, when it had been disabled?
