I guess that you have a problem with your browser where it is forcing
a refresh of every page that you view.  This will make WWWOFFLE think
that you want it to get a new version of the page next time.  Make
sure that you don't have any options in the browser that will do this
(I don't know what they would be caled though, "always get fresh page"
or something).  The other thing to do is investigate the option called
"pragma-no-cache" in the configuration file and set it to "no".

All of the pages in the index http://localhost:8080/index/outgoing do
get removed when they have been fetched.  Those that are in the index
http://localhost:8080/index/lastout/ don't because they are the
history.

The 'wwwoffle -fetch' process will exit when it has finished
downloading all of the pages.

If you have a script like this:

-------------------- example.sh --------------------
#!/bin/sh

wwwoffle -fetch > wwwoffle-fetch.log &

echo "Press any key to exit"
read x

wait
-------------------- example.sh --------------------

It will run the fetch process and prompt you to press return.  When
you do that it will wait for wwwoffle to finish fetching and then
exit.
