wget -r

I have noticed a lot of expensive books appearing
online so I have decided to copy them to CD.

I was going to write a program in java to do this,
but remembered that wget GNU program some of
you guys were talking about.

Instead of spending two hours or so writing a
program to do this. I am going to download
wget and do a one line command, but I want
to make sure that one liner is correct or I will
recursively use up all my hard drive.Smilie

The web site is for example http://bb.book.com/somebook

So I will run this command
Code:
wget -r -Dwebsite.com http://bb.book.com/somebook/

And copy all files linked to in this domain. The whole book!Smilie

Do you have any suggestions?

Category should be one of blues, classical, country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc. template [disc-id] [tracks] Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout. The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid. query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks] Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identify- ing ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server. read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre] Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by parse and send commands.
