Hi Karl! >From my POV, the current set-up is the best solution. Of course, I am also no developer, but an avid user. Sometimes you just don't know the structure of the website in advance, so using -m as a trouble-free no-brainer will get you the complete site neatly done with timestamps. BTW, -m is an abbreviation: -m = -r -l0 -N IIRC If you _know_ that you don't want to grab upwards, just add -np and you're done. Otherwise someone would have to come up with a switch to disable the default -np that you suggested or the user would have to rely on the single options that -m is made of - hassle without benefit. You furthermore said: "generally, that leads to the whole Internet" That is wrong, if I understand you correctly. Wget will always stay at the start-host, except when you allow different hosts via a smart combination of -D -H -I switches.
