    w  mirror with automatic wizard
    This is the default scanning option, the engine automatically scans links according to the default options, and filters defined. It does not prompt a message when a "foreign" link is reached.

    W  semi-automatic mirror with help-wizard (asks questions)
    This option lets the engine ask the user if a link must be mirrored or not, when a new web has been found.

    g  just get files (saved in the current directory)
    This option forces the engine not to scan the files indicated - i.e. the engine only gets the files indicated.

    i  continue an interrupted mirror using the cache
    This option indicates to the engine that a mirror must be updated or continued.

    rN  recurse get with limited link depth of N
    This option sets the maximum recurse level. Default is infinite (the engine "knows" that it should not go out of current domain)

    a   stay on the same address
    This is the default primary scanning option, the engine does not go out of domains without permissions (filters, for example)

    d   stay on the same principal domain
    This option lets the engine go on all sites that exist on the same principal domain.
    Example: a link located at www.someweb.com that goes to members.someweb.com will be followed.

    l   stay on the same location (.com, etc.)
    This option lets the engine go on all sites that exist on the same location.
    Example: a link located at www.someweb.com that goes to www.anyotherweb.com will be followed.
    Warning: this is a potentially dangerous option, limit the recurse depth with r option.

    e   go everywhere on the web
    This option lets the engine go on any sites.
    Example: a link located at www.someweb.com that goes to www.anyotherweb.org will be followed.
    Warning: this is a potentially dangerous option, limit the recurse depth with r option.

    n   get non-html files 'near' an html file (ex: an image located outside)
    This option lets the engine catch all files that have references on a page, but that exist outside the web site.
    Example: List of ZIP files links on a page.

    This option lets the engine test all links that are not caught.
    Example: to test broken links in a site

    D   can only go down into subdirs
    This is the default option, the engine can go everywhere on the same directoy, or in lower structures
