Good point: I used the long-form flags for better readability, but I hadn't accounted for the possibility of copy-paste issues (mine is fine with it, at least if you use the right-click menu rather than keyboard shortcuts).

I think I told *you* this part already, but in general: for more on wget, see this manual.

I learned recently about Wpull, a wget-inspired scraper written by people tired of wget's inadequacies (notably, Wpull has much better rejection behaviour and does not keep its to-do list (which can get quite large) in RAM), and about an archiving-focused Wpull wrapper called grab-site. Still getting the hang of them myself, though.
