Question Wget command options help???


Hello Everyone!

I just started to use wget to leach websites. Unfortunately, I am unable to find the right command options to force it to download an entire site. So far I am only able to get it to download the index.html for the sites. I have read the manpages and documentation, but there is nothing in there about this problem that I could find. I guess I would like for wget to grab something from the entire domain name. I.E. www.something.com/. Therefore it would download or mirror the entire website, all directories and all files. Im sure its just a simple little command options, but for the life of me I cant seem to find it! Please help!

wget -r <URI> should do it. This functionality is referred to in the manpage as recursive downloading.
