And no, there is no option to download only files pointed from special HTML element like IMG. Without the -A option, you get a lot of useless files (reagardless spanning). If you look on locations of files you are interested in, you will see that all the files are located outside the Sijun domain. On every page is only small amount of such files. Thus it's more efficient and friendly to the servers to extract these URLs only at first and then download them only. > But the problem that it does not span any hosts?

Following wget-only command does what you want, but as I said it produce a lot of useless requests and files. wget -p -l 1 -H 'http://forums.sijun.com/viewtopic.php?t=29807&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=27+330' > > I propose using other tools to extract the image ULRs and then to download > > them using wget.
