      Looking at your explanations, I've applied a naive workaround. I've
included the css files (which I don't need anyway) in the list of file types to
be rejected. Now wget finishes its execution correctly. That solves my needs for
the moment, even if the problem is still there. 

       Thanks all of you for your help!
