you can include multiple options in one shot, such as:

Oh that's true, I was asleep :)

What about this ?
httrack -Wc2A10mbytesM10gbytes%c1 www.example.com 

If I check for the whole word after the digits, it
shouldn't be any ambiguity, should it ? Mmmmph...
could it ever happen that "-{k.m.g}bytes" had a meaning
as single options ?¿, e.g:  "-k -b -y -t -e -s". I think
that if somebody writes "-A10mbytes....", he stands for
"-A10000000", if he wants to mean other thing, he should have written it as
"-A10btesym".

If this is still confusing, the idea can be easily extended,
what about "httrack -M10thisisforspecifyingmbytesWc2%c1"...
tho I dont like long words :P
