Re: [Bug-wget] Configuration to ignore a specified domain, or treat it differently?

[Pär Karlsson]

Hello,

This is a kludge, but you could temporarily short-circuit the problematic
domain/hostname to localhost in your /etc/hosts file or (if on Windows) the
equivalent file (somewhere in c:\Windows\System32\ IIRC, Google should have
the answer).
