I wish I had a file exclude option.
I'm behind a firewall that doesn't allow ftp, so I have to find
sites that use http for file transfer.

I'm currently trying to install cygwin on my local lan network.
To do that, I;m using wget to mirror the remote site locally,
as I hve a very slow transfer rate.

I don't really want the sources, just the binaries.  But I've
got no way to say --exclude-file "*src.bz2"

Another option that may make sense would be to ask wget
to fetch the html files in the tree, and construct a list of the non-html
files.  In that way, it would be easy to edit the list, then
resubmit it. as a list of things to get.

Cool program.  Saves much grief.

Oh, yeah.  mention the xy=on logging function in the man page.
Very cool.
