How do I download all images from a webpage with wget

Question

I want to download all images from a webpage but when I type:

$ wget -nd -r -P images -A "*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png" "Path/to/url"

wget not only downloads images from the webpage I want but it also downloads every other image from the website and loops forever. I have to stop it with Ctrl+C.

When I change the command to:

$ wget -np -nd -r -P images -A "*.jpg, *.jpeg, *.png" "Path/to/url"

It doesn't download anything at all.

Note: When I run either of the two commands, wget always prints this message:

"Removing 'filename' since it should be rejected"

How do I use wget to download images from a webpage?

Answer 1

try adding the -l<#> switch, where # is the number of pages you want to go down
