Recursively download files from a website using wget

Question

I want to download a set o files from a website. The HTML documents are linked with

<a href="https://website.com/path/to/folder/jjxx.70" data-linktype="relative-path">bla</a>

after the download of the primary file the path/to/folder is removed as expected. The remaining line is:

<a href="jjxx.70" data-linktype="relative-path">bla</a>

But wget doesn't download the referenced files although I passed the mirror parameter. All I get is:

c:\>wget-1.12 -m -p -E https://website.com/path/to/folder/jjroot
... progress information ...
2018-09-15 18:52:33 (708 KB/s) - `website.com/path/to/folder/jjroot.html' saved [25784/25784]

FINISHED --2018-09-15 18:52:33--
Downloaded: 1 files, 25K in 0.04s (708 KB/s)

• Why does wget download only "1 files"?
• How can I tell wget to actually download recursively?

Edit: Since I've been asked: The version of the wget is 1.12. I also used wget 1.19.4 wit the same result.

Answer 1

The command is:

wget -r -np -l 1 -A zip http://example.com/download/

Options meaning:

-r,  --recursive          specify recursive download.
-np, --no-parent          don't ascend to the parent directory.
-l,  --level=NUMBER       maximum recursion depth (inf or 0 for infinite).
-A,  --accept=LIST        comma-separated list of accepted extensions

You can customize required extensions using -A parameter
