Basically I want to download my blogspot blog.

If I use the -p option, page requisites will not be downloaded from other hosts (as it must do here - photos1.blogger.com etc.), so I have to turn on -H (span hosts) - but if I do that things get out of control.

So I need either the p option to download requisites even from other hosts or the H option to span hosts only when downloading requisites (images etc.)

This feature exists in other software (such as Offline Explorer for windows - it's called "download images from any location"), but I need to know how can this be done using wget (or other linux program if wget can't do it).

Thanks

Is the -r switch what you are wanting?

no, the r switch simply tells wget to recursively look for new pages to download - i'm using this switch anyway.
the problem is that I have to use p to download page images, but p does not span hosts (images are on another host different from that which the htmls reside on); if I use H (span hosts) then I will have to limit the recursion level (to prevent downloading the whole internet) but I can't do that as pages can be at any level in my blog.
you can of course allow only certain hosts, but I wanted a general solution to a simple problem: simply download images from any location.

Can you restict it to a wildcard for the server, something like *.blogger.com perhaps?
