Looks like that blasted delete-after logic again: it's because after the rename, the files no longer match -A.pdf, so they get deleted (not sure how you still have a .pdf.1 at all at the end, unless you're interrupting wget before it gets a chance to delete it). As a workaround, you should be able to use something like -A '*.pdf,*.pdf.*' -- Micah J. Cowan http://micah.cowan.name/
