Here is a simple example of the problem:

I'm trying to download www.medicine.com/index.html using
'Download web site(s)' as my mirroring mode. This webpage
contains hyperlink <http://abcnews.go.com> at the bottom of
the page (fourth from the bottom). I'm trying to include
this in the download with the following scan rule filter

+*abcnews.go.com*   or   +*abcnews*

but HTTrack refuses to include this link in the download no
matter what I do.

I have no other filters and I've tried pretty much
everything so is the problem at abcnews.go.com?
