Achievement get! I have successfully used wget to download the entirety of a smallish wordpress site because it took my fancy and I had no other way to sensibly archive the entire thing. (And I spent so long mourning not knowing how to use it and it turned out to be pretty simple, thanks at least in part to brin_bellway already having worked out many of the obvious pitfalls and then posting the details very helpfully.)

This is more power than I should have. I suspect I will be using up a worrying amount of data capacity on this... For a good cause, of course, but even so.

Huh, didn't know depth defaulted to 5, that's a detail worth picking up. The rest of those I already know or seem arcane enough I'm comfortable not looking them up in more detail. It's nice to know more ways to actually interface with the world; my coding education has tended to be very internal and not cover much by way of actual interactions...
