i have latest version as of this message.

Perhaps there are so many bugs because they dont want to fix them, and this is
one of the worst. this problem has been around for a long while. In fact the
second worst bug has not been fixed either, despite saying it had in
history.txt: 3.45-1 * Fixed: interrupting an update/continue mirror session
should not delete anymore previously downloaded content (William Roeder, Alain
Desilets and many others)


this doesnt work:
**tried unchecking js file parse (links tab and Spider tab), even doing a full
restart (deleting all but keeping main site folder) did not work. i did
restart because i blocked a site in the host file but it was still wanting to
read from it because i kept the cache folder.

**"get [external] non-HTML files related to a link eg external zip/pictures"
supposed to mean if a non-html(and javascript for that matter) filetype that
the program was told to grab was hosted off site, it would grab it. however i
have this unchecked and it is still downloading "donate" pictures from PAYPAL,
amoung many other things. 


honestly, if the options dont work DISABLE THEM. if they are supposed to work
the authors should have some form of debugger, perhaps to log the entire tree,
and the reason why it would want to download that branch.  And they should at
least test their program with messy sites.

Charlie.
