With system 228 (actually 226, but we never included that), the system is per default configured to limit the max tasks on a user session to 4096 wget seems to very easily be able to exhaust this limit on its own when using the -mirror parameter. before starting wget --mirror: cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-1000.slice/pids.current 389 after running wget --mirror for a couple seconds: cat /sys/fs/cgroup/pids/user.slice/user-1000.slice/pids.current 1195 (the number is increasing constantly when checking the file, until you can't do anything with your system for 'resource temporary unavailable. wget keeps on running) As soon as wget terminates (on it's own or being killed) the pids.current gets back to the initial value.
