ANONYMOUS  I simply couldn't get it to download subpages. I tried by feeding it a page to start from on the web, and I tried by saving that page to my hard drive and using that.

There is no documentation. Why do OS X developers expect all users to be geniues? When I needed to do this in OS 9, I found a program that did it and was up and running in 15 minutes and it did what I wanted. Why, in our brave new world of OS X, do tasks like that require 2 hours of hair pulling before I give up?

ANONYMOUS  Apparently no option to retain headers, which was the point of the exercise for me. Looks cool, though.

ANONYMOUS  It does its job very well. Fantastic tool. Needn't bother with all the cryptic options from 'man wget'! Excellent.
