Recursive Accept/Reject Options
-A acclist --accept acclist
-R rejlist --reject rejlist
Specify comma-separated lists of file name suffixes or patterns to accept or reject. Note that if any
of the wildcard characters, *, ?, [ or ], appear in an element of acclist or rejlist, it will be
treated as a pattern, rather than a suffix.

--cut-dirs=number
Ignore number directory components. This is useful for getting a fine-grained control over the
directory where recursive retrieval will be saved.
Take, for example, the directory at ftp://ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/. If you retrieve it with -r, it
will be saved locally under ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/. While the -nH option can remove the
ftp.xemacs.org/ part, you are still stuck with pub/xemacs. This is where --cut-dirs comes in handy;
it makes Wget not "see" number remote directory components. Here are several examples of how
--cut-dirs option works.
No options -> ftp.xemacs.org/pub/xemacs/
-nH -> pub/xemacs/
-nH --cut-dirs=1 -> xemacs/
-nH --cut-dirs=2 -> .
--cut-dirs=1 -> ftp.xemacs.org/xemacs/
...
If you just want to get rid of the directory structure, this option is similar to a combination of
-nd and -P. However, unlike -nd, --cut-dirs does not lose with subdirectories---for instance, with
-nH --cut-dirs=1, a beta/ subdirectory will be placed to xemacs/beta, as one would expect.
