Fellas, I was all excited about wget's -A:
`-A ACCLIST'
`--accept ACCLIST'
`accept = ACCLIST'
The argument to `--accept' option is a list of file suffixes or
patterns that Wget will download during recursive retrieval. A
suffix is the ending part of a file, and consists of "normal"
letters, e.g. `gif' or `.jpg'. A matching pattern contains
shell-like wildcards, e.g. `books*' or `zelazny*196[0-9]*'.
because it was certainly going to save me big money on my downloads,
when to my surprise, it apparently just downloads the file anyway, and
then removes it to cover its tracks in case I come checking. Just
like some mischievous kid:
