Hallo specialists,
I used wget 1.8.1 on my system to mirror the site www.europa.eu.int.
Transfer was throug a proxy and DSL over night.
After about 12-13 hours I found following situation:
Totally download about 1.8GB data.
wget process was increased to approx 75MB RAM occupying!

This increasing was fatal for the system, because there where only
32MBRAM in the intel486-maschine.
Downlaod rate was dramatically reduced, but system was still running.
Did kill the process with Ctrl-C.
Everything seems to be o.k.
After research the data I found, that redirecting was not good in all
ways.
Files where set in the right directories, but relinking in the page
was often wrong.
should be: http://myroot/europa.eu.int/indidivdual_dir

but was:
http://europa.eu.int/individual_dir

problem seems to be, that wget misses the part of directory, that is
leading to the downloaded one.

My calling conditions for wget where:

wget -m http://europa.eu.int/

All parameters have been in downloaded status and where unchanged
excep the adres for the proxy, I had to use.
compiling was with standard features under linux 2.4.13 kernel.

Quesction:
Did I make a configuration mistake?
If not can cou correct the relinking?
Howa to make, that wget will not use so many RAM?
Do I have the chance to correct the wrong 'links'. (Not by hand,
there are thousands....)
