Basically, I'd like to run this command:
 
wget (options to grab all the mp3s) http://www.2600.com/offthehook/1988/1088.html
 
e.g.
 
wget -r -l3 -H -t1 -nd -N -np -A .mp3 -erobots=off http://www.2600.com/offthehook/1988/1088.html
It's not working like it works on other websites (e.g. democracynow.org), and I suspect it's because when you look through the source code (which I do with "lynx -source"), I see that the mp3 files are ../../path/to/file.mp3
While I could just write a bash file to pick through the source code, piece together a real path to the mp3 file, and then wget that, but I was hoping to figure out the switch necessary to let me use wget properly.
