That's what I consider the flawed logic. Wget shouldn't remove URLs
explicitly given on the command line, IMHO.
*Edit*: --debug revealed that actually, the no-parent (-np) setting
caused the problem. Can someone confirm wget actually does behave like
stated above? It seems so ^^

No pdf files on this page, I was just giving an example.. In my case
it's about .asx-files (dreadful stuff^^) but more commonly, it might be
.pdf-files for others.

Yeah, horrible habitude to password-shield educational content..

No.. I want to include all asx files, plus the initial URL which
contains the actual links thereto.
Guess I could cook up .. hmm *fumble*

This did the trick. But... mmh ...
Ok my copy'n paste derp. The --no-parent option was the problem. Without
it & with -A asx, it just works™.
