OK I am trying to capture a particular subreddit and archive it's growth every
month.

So an example. I want to capture www.reddit.com/r/anything and I also want it
to go 1 in depth for external links so as to capture a snapshot of whatever is
referenced.

Since each subreddits front page contains links to popular subreddits such as
r/funny, httrack ends up trying to capture all of reddit... i want to limit
those paths to one in depth and pages external to reddit also to 1.

I tried all the obvious settings that make sense, haven't solved it yet.

also the subreddit is private. I have to temporarily change it to public to
archive and I don't like that. The login feature in httrack doesn't work
