Tried that, but I used the 'no' prefix, as in --noconvert-links.
"no-" isn't really an english prefix. What would happen if
wget allowed specifying 'no' in addition to its current behavior?
BTW, --noconfig doesn't work, (--config is affirming you want a
specific config file, no)?

BTW if you want to ignore .wgetrc altogether (which seems to be

$ man wget
"--config=FILE
Specify the location of a startup file you wish to use."
So in that case you need to use --config (without any value) on the
command line.

Why not --noconfig?
Actually, it means you could use "--config=/dev/null". The
documentation does not suggest that --config is valid without a value.

I tried it with --config="" and it didn't like that
(file not found). I thought about /dev/null -- but thought that
would certainly be illegal. I would have thought /dev/zero to
be about as likely.
Seems like that should have cleared the config file as well,
since "" is hardly a valid filename.
Anyway, after trying what I thought were logical options,
prefix, 'no', clearing config name, I wrote a note here.
It's not like I didn't read the man page, but I may have looked
at the section on switches, and not all the other, "unrelated"
text....(if it was related to one of the switches, wouldn't it be
mentioned w/that switch?)... (*sigh*)
Tnx,
