That is already included: -m == --mirror
But --mirror (or -m) does not include -k (convert links to local after
the transfer) nor -np (do not follow links upwards the parent directory),
nor an instruction to ignore 'robots.txt'.
The magic incantation I submitted will only download down the hierarchy,
in spite of robots.txt and fixing links, all three problems reported in
the thread.
Of course it is not polite to ignore robots.txt, but sometimes it may be
justified.

Just for the record.
The correct way to mirror a site with links corrected is
wget -c -m -k -np -e robots=off URL
Seems most people have problem remembering this incantation.
Wouldn't it be nice if it were
wget --mirror URL
?
