I've tried both on my Mac OS X box and Linux box, and the problem is still there. It appears that -X will work if you know the exact name and path of the directory, but that is not entirely the case with my problem. I need to be able to not download any and all directories named .backup. There are many of them in different paths, so I figured I need some kind of regex as -X".backup" is not enough. Does anyone here know what syntax wget's regex engine uses? I have not been able to find any documentation about it. Thanks, /vjl/
