If you started it at a folder below / on the site, would it just get

For it to "spider" through, it will open the initial page (usually
index.html, index.php or default.htm) and then follow the links to new
pages and then follow their links and so on and so forth until it has
the site.<br>

If you want to create a complete backup, including files that are not
linked to, you will want to use the ftp protocol instead of http.<br>

wget --help gives you some help remembering the options. "man wget" gives you a lot more detail.Googling will turn up lots of examples.
