Okay problem detected and fixed. The problem is the "near" 
option, in a particular case:
- a non-html file is detected (here, a txt file)
- the "near" hack forced the download of the file
- this file redirects to a regular html file (here, a fake 
404 error page)

The problem is that the "near" hack triggers the download 
of the txt file, with default depth (9999). For regular non-
html file, this is not a problem. But in case of redirect, 
the "child" herits a depth value of N-1 (9998), and this is 
causing a massive download.

I have now setup the "near" option so that it uses a depth 
of 1 (download and parse, but don't download anything)

> Does that include removing the tabs and spaces too?
No - control chars, that is, < 32, excluding the space 
character :)

Okay, I'll try to release a beta-6 soon on httrack.com (in 
few minutes) which includes the "near" fix.
