It's odd: I set wget to running, and went away for lunch. It
actually did finish after downloading a few thousand files, which
suggests that it's working correctly (for some perverse
definition of 'working'); if it were working incorrectly, it
would probably have downloaded a few tens of thousands of files.
At least I think so.

As for --cut-dirs and -nH, they seem to be related to how the
files get saved on my local disk, as opposed to which URLs get
downloaded. No?
