1 When retrieving recursively, one does not wish to retrieve loads of
1 unnecessary data.  Most of the time the users bear in mind exactly what
1 they want to download, and want Wget to follow only specific links.

1    For example, if you wish to download the music archive from
1 ‘fly.srk.fer.hr’, you will not want to download all the home pages that
1 happen to be referenced by an obscure part of the archive.

1    Wget possesses several mechanisms that allows you to fine-tune which
1 links it will follow.
