[Linux-disciples] Relative links from wget recursive retrievals

[Adam Kessel]

Hm, "Adam Kessel" = linux-disciples? (to: line)

wget

 -k
 --convert-links
     After the download is complete, convert the links in the document
     to make them suitable for local viewing.  This affects not only the
     visible hyperlinks, but any part of the document that links to
     external content, such as embedded images, links to style sheets,
     hyperlinks to non-HTML content, etc.

 -B URL
 --base=URL
     When used in conjunction with -F, prepends URL to relative links in
     the file specified by -i.

Does that solve it?
