    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When wget is run with the -r(ecursive) flag, it always exits with a status of
0, eve if the initial file does not exist, unlike when run without this flag


Examples:
[cipri at orion ~]$ wget http://www.example.org/nonexistant; echo $?
1


[cipri at orion ~]$ wget -r http://www.example.org/nonexistant; echo $?
0
