I just don't get it.. Could it be that the source site isn't static? 
That wget restarts somehow if there are new files somewhere or anything 
like that. I'm puzzled.

When I look in the wget log, I can see that it has looped files several 
times. Just as an example, I used the command above to mirror, then if I 
look in the directory everything is saved in, I have;

host.domain.tld/directory/ (and lots of files and dirs below this)

If I grep the log for 'directory/subdir/file.html' I have this:


--09:16:00--  http://host.domain.tld/directory/file.html.html
           => `host.domain.tld/directory/file.html.html'

Seems like it has looped this specific file a couple of times.
