Hi Chris,

    Made me look.  It wouldn't be the first time.  Tried it again
to make sure.  No symptom change.

    I was linking on "Save Link as".  I am running
Firefox 29.0.1 from the Mozilla ftp site binaries.

    Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had come up
with a better wget run line.  Guess I am asking "theoretical
question".

    The script doesn't work anyway.
