some sample output would have helped. regardless, the problem is that the
site owners don't want you to do what you want to do.  in:

$ wget --debug --mirror http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/ |& tail

you'll notice:

no-follow in www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/index.html: 1

$ grep -ie nofollow www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/index.html
www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/index.html:<meta name="robots" content="nofollow">

perhaps the no-follow error should not just be sent in debug.
