wget command to scrap just a portion of a website's HTML
# This way you can test your scripts in your localhost. It's like using the
# --mirror option without downloading all the needed resources, just the HTML.
# Add "-e robots=off" to be evil
# Add --continue so wget won't download already downloaded files
