i did this, and it worked well

wget -m -U "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux)"
--http-user=USERNAME --http-password=PASSWORD -r -p -nH -nd -Pdownload
--wait=2 -k -i ../url.txt

but i still can't get to download the images, css and js files and
rewrite the downloaded page so that i can use it locally.

i have the '-p' switch also i have tried

with

--convert-links -r

but it did not work!

what have i missed?

thanks
