Hi,
I asked about this a few weeks ago (see below):

1. Set Options / Scan rules:
-* +www.abc.com/*

2. Set external depth to 1

This should do the trick.

OK, I tried that and it does NOT work.
The contents of the first level external links are not 
copied. I even tried it without the ( -* ) and it still did 
not copy the external links. And if I use the default scan 
rules only with external depth =1, it tries to copy the 
whole world.
What else should I do? Any ideas? 
Thank you,
Maz
