1. wget -b instead of the ampersand.
2. wget -l <some reasonable number> -L - Otherwise you will most
likely download stuff that you never needed (wget -r parses the files
it downloads for URLs). The default -l value is 5, you might want to
decrease it. -L so that wget downloads only relative links.

man wget (especially the section FOLLOWING LINKS).
