I'm using wildcards to exclude a site, say Google, from my mirror.  

However, I want to include incidental js, jpg, gif, png, and css files from
other sites.

I'm using the following recipie...

--can-go-down
--stay-on-same-address
-*
+*.jpg 
+*.gif 
+*.css 
+*.js 
+*.png

Then I add...

-*google.com*

But I still get garbage files from Google.  

Is there a difference between ?...

-*google.com*
and
-*google.com
