Re: [Bug-wget] Why does -A not work?

[Nils Gerlach]

It does not delete any html-file or anything else. Either it is accepted
and kept or it is saved forever.
With the tip about --accept and --acept-regex I can get wget to traverse
the links but it does not go deep
enough to get the *l.jpgs I tried to increase -l but to no avail. It seems
like it is going only 1 link deep.
And not deletes.
