Hello,

 I searched the wget manual and the GNU site, and I can't find any links
 to the sunsite address. What the heck did I read that directed me there?
 I seem to remember that it was to http://sunsite.dk/wget or similar,

I found these in the wget svn trunk:

doc/README.maint:7) update wget.sunsite.dk and gnu.org/software/wget

doc/README.maint:http://wget.sunsite.dk

NEWS:http://sunsite.dk/wget/

util/wget.spec:Url: http://sunsite.dk/wget/


BTW: maybe you want to add yourself to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget

Thanks, Noèl!

I did notice the one in NEWS, but that should stay, since it's history;
I also saw the one in README.maint, but that document is likely to be
overhauled soon, and at any rate I won't be including it in the dist
tarball.

I overlooked the one in wget.spec, though. I don't think that goes in
the tarball, either, but I may as well fix that.

Good idea :)

Why --exclude-directories, and not --exclude-paths?

Someone just asked on the #wget IRC channel if there was a way to
exclude files with certain names, and I recommended -X, without
realizing that that option excludes directories, not files.

My question is: why do we allow users to exclude directories, but not files?

I'm also wondering how wget determines what's a directory and what's a
file: extension-based heuristic? I'll have to look at the source (unless
someone answers me here first!).
