... whatever it is, it's not the fault of wget. it's likely an understanding of how the site is configured would allow us to craft some command-line magic for this to work for him. (but since he's left us in the dark about the site, we're left to guess about it.)

wil, shame on you. wget does just fine mirroring sites -- recursive download is what it's designed for. the error he's getting is the server saying "you can't access this", whatever the server understands "this" to be. that may be due to the server filtering out traffic based on the agent-string wget is supplying, or maybe there isn't an index.html on the site and the server is set not to list files on the webroot. ...
