I wonder if it's possible that that file is a redirection from a Just FWIW, I also tried with --max-redirect=0 and --max-redirect=1, but they seemed to hang forever and/or have no effect, depending on exactly what options were specified. Not sure there is any bug there, just mentioning. Adding -R login.php seems a decent workaround Indeed, I tried that and it worked better. Then I thought I would try to exclude the numerous "stats" items, but failed. I tried wget -m -np -nv -R login.php -X stats http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/ wget -m -np -nv -R login.php,stats http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/ wget -m -np -nv -R login.php,stats\* http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/ and none of them actually stopped url's like http://sourceforge.net/projects/biblatex-biber/files/biblatex-biber/current/binaries/stats/timeline from showing up. Thanks again for all the responses, karl
