It's usually best to post the actual command line (log file line two) so we
know exactly what you did as opposed to what you think you did.

The above is close. Look at the source, all images are links in the form: a
href=http://bplinx.com/0vMfs8u391 rel="nofollow" target="_blank">< img...
To get those you'll have to set the override on robots.txt.
Instead of the external=N, I'd filter out the ads:
-* +*715946* +bplinx.com/* -bplinkx.com/*/* +bplinkx.com/g/* +bplinkx.com/gc/*
