Ouch. You are using its mirror mode? I have tried, and failed, to use wget to mirror download areas that are present only via HTTP. It would routinely fail to do what I had imagined I had asked of it and suck in adjacent content outside the tree I had asked for, etc. Is it possible to get at the target via ssh, and use rsync instead of wget? It's much easier and more reliable, if it's possible.

Thimmonier fled to the town of Amplepuis, where he died in poverty. - Charles Panati
