There will not be any "unrequested" entries in the outgoing
directory. They will all have been requested by somebody or some
program, WWWOFFLE does not make them up.
There is no way for WWWOFFLE to know if Mozilla has requested the next
page automatically or if you followed a link to the next page.
WWWOFFLE must respect every request that is made for a page.
Some versions of Mozilla have a preference to disable the automatic
fetching of pages in the background. You should use this, not only if
you use WWWOFFLE, but if you use any sort of internet connection where
you pay for the data you download (by time online or quantity).
