Hi,

When using wget with `relative_only' set to on, when downloading a site
from files that have been referenced starting with "/" are not retrieved.

For example <IMG SRC="/images/image1.gif"> is not fetched. But when
`relative_only' is turned off the result is a massive download.

Is there a combination of options to find some middle ground.

I'm implementing a research tool to automatically analyse the home page
of web sites. I don't want to retrieve the whole site to local disk, and
am currently using a recursive retrieval depth of 2 - which fetches most
embedded files.

I'm only interested in analysing files embedded in the home page.

Is there a way to overcome the issue mentioned above.

James
