This is related to the same flaw pointed out just a couple days ago; -A should not be used to block names that are generated by wget using .1, .2 suffixes... A patch has been proposed fixing this (partially), by placing the .1, .2 *before* the filename extension; however, that still wouldn't have solved the -Aindex.html problem (since it'd then have to become - -Aindex*.html or somesuch). The patch and bug report are at https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?20482 I'm going to submit a report against the more general issue, though, since the patch doesn't fully resolve the problem: that wget should not be matching -A and -R against filenames after it mangles them. - -- Micah J.
