Well, *depend* is a rather strong expression for that ;-) It worked that way always, I got used to it, I never really thought if it was correct or not, because I had a use for it. So I was astonished, when these files suddenly disappeared. As I wrote already, I will mention them explicitly now. I think, the worst that will happen is that I get a few more of them than before. Perhaps the whole thing could be mentioned in the documentation of the accept/reject option. Current there is only this sentence there: Note that these two options do not affect the downloading of HTML files; Wget must load all the HTMLs to know where to go at all--recursive retrieval would make no sense otherwise.

Ok, I see, if adding explicit html im my scripts helps, I like to keep those files because they show me the date when the last change has occured in a directory. Regards, J.Roderburg

How about a switch to keep the .html file, similar to the -nr switch that keeps the .listing file for ftp downloads?
