How to mirror only a section of a website?

Question

I cannot get wget to mirror a section of a website (a folder path below root) - it only seems to work from the website homepage.

I've tried many options - here is one example

wget -rkp -l3 -np  http://somewebsite/subpath/down/here/ 

While I only want to mirror the content links below that URL - I also need to download all the page assets which are not in that path.

It seems to work fine for the homepage (/) but I can't get it going for any sub folders.

Use the --mirror (-m) and --no-parent (-np) options, plus a few of cool ones, like in this example:

wget --mirror --page-requisites --adjust-extension --no-parent --convert-links      --directory-prefix=sousers http://stackoverflow.com/users
