This is very handy if you're too busy and don't have time to download whatever files you need.

The -D specifies the domains allowed, this is because I specified -H which means foreign hosts are allowed, if you don't restrict them you'll end up going to the whole internet via ads and other links just like a search Engine would follow.

-l 0 specifies to go deep, to as many levels as possible/as exist.

-e robots=off is important because robots.txt often says you can't view certain files which we don't want (this is intended for search engines).

-A .zip specifies that we only want to download .zip files, you can add more, change it from zip to jpg or remove it all together if you like.

--user and --password are hopefully obvious

wget -l 0 -e robots=off --keep-session-cookies -A .zip -H -D allowedomain.com,otherdomain.com -U "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:12.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/12.0" -m --user=user --password=pass http://url.com
