-====== wget - Ignore robots.txt ======
-By default wget respects the **robots.txt** file and thus only downloads the non-private files.  The protocol of the robots exclusion standard is pure advisory, this means that the robots.txt contains rules that a search engine or other robots are not allowed to access certain files but they might ignore them.
-Wget can be adviced to ignore that rules and thus it downloads the private files anyway. Set the e option as shown next.
-<code bash>
-wget -e robots=off -r http://somesite.com
