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,
