Sometime in September Poyner, Brandon assaulted the keyboard and produced:

| What you have is a stubborn battle of the wills.  Wget considers ~ to be
| an unsafe character and converts it to the hex %7e.  The server at
| www.pitt.edu doesn't merely take that and convert it internally to ~ and
| return the content (Apache normally does this), but rather it issues an
| HTTP redirect to the URL with ~.  So wget attempts to follow the
| provided link and converts ~ back to %7e.
| 
| Do you have something like curl handy?  I would consider using that
| instead.

In fact I do, however I'm not really shure how to make it mirror or
recursively fetch pages. I've looked through the man page for curl, but I
don't see that option anywhere. Any advice?

 What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, 
 and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is brought 
 under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of 
 liberty and democracy?
