It looks to me that --near doesn't work on external 
links. I have to open up the scope of downloading which 
increases the number of links tested exponentially. This 
is not good. 
 
I believe that --near is checked against the starting url, 
not the currently-in-use url, which is why it's broken. 
 
Example, I want to download images that are near the 
first external level, whilst only checking one level of the 
starting url. To do it now, I need -r3 -%e2, which is far 
too much!
