Bug Description
This command should theoretically fetch all PDFs on a page:
$ wget -v -d -r --level 1 --adjust-extension --no-clobber --no-directories\
'https:/
But it fails to grab any of them, giving the output:
---
Deciding whether to enqueue "https:/
https:/
Decided NOT to load it.
---
That's bogus. The workaround is to remove this option:
--accept-regex 'administrative
But that should not be necessary. Adding an --accept-* clause should never cause another --accept-* clause to become invalidated and it should not shrink the set of fetched files.
