Hi Taylor, thx for your feedback.
-eBay: you may have a point about eBay, I don't know. But even in that case, it doesn't make sense to me. - UserAgent: I don't really know what this means, but yes, why not? According to [ https://www.whatsmyua.info/ | https://www.whatsmyua.info/ ] this would be my UA: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.80 Safari/537.36 But when I add the following U-A key --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/75.0.3770.80 Safari/537.36" nothing much changes. The Wget file gets a few more lines (around 2330, which is the same in the heavy Chrome version --- I forgot to point that out in my previous message) - Java: I'm not a developer, alas. At best I can trick my way around a bit with batch files. So I'm bound hands & feet to whatever CL freeware is out there. So no real improvement, I'm afraid... M.

Some ideas: - it is probably __NOT__ WGET that steals ca 90% of content - eBay maybe explicitly supports Chrome ("Best viewed in any browser as long as it is the latest version of Chrome or IE") - user agent (try to set it to Chrome's value) - JawaScript (little to do, the extension can do much JawaScript magic that WGET obviously can't)
