wget scrape urls is awesome but yeah, it can get messy fast.
One tip: always use `--spider` first to test your command. It simulates the download without actually grabbing files, so you can see what you’re about to pull.
For rate-limiting, I use `--limit-rate=200k` to keep things slow and steady. And for recursive downloads, I combine `-l` with `--accept` to only grab specific file types.
Oh, and if you’re getting blocked, try changing your user agent with `--user-agent="Mozilla/5.0"`. Works like a charm sometimes.
