How to download all images from a website using wget?

Tags:

wget

forum

Here is an example of my command:

wget -r -l 0 -np -t 1 -A jpg,jpeg,gif,png -nd --connect-timeout=10 -P ~/support --load-cookies cookies.txt "http://support.proboards.com/" -e robots=off

Based on the input here

But nothing really gets downloaded, no recursive crawling, it takes just a few seconds to complete. I am trying to backup all images from a forum, is the forum structure causing issues?
