By default, HTT download Everything from the Starting site Only. The +png...
also allows HTT to get those files from ANY site.
If you want pdfs from anywhere you can add the +*.pdf
If you want all files from anywhere you can drop the filters entirely and add
the near flag -n (options -> links -> get non-html = checked.)
