[GLLUG] first try using wget

[Brian Hoort]

Thanks, that was one of them, the final result for what I wanted is this:
$ wget -k -nH -np --cut-dirs=2 -r -l1 http://www.oreilly.com/openbook/freedom/

It puts all the contents of that folder, and any folder structure in it 
1-level deep into the current folder, without creating a folder structure 
or host name. Whew!

Thanks
