[ale] wget

I'm attempting to recursively retrieve a web site using wget.  My
expectation is that it would travel down all the directories trees and
get every file.  I've tried various options, but none seem to do what I
would like.  Clues would be helpful.

For example if I execute the following:

wget -m www.foo.net/user-dir/

I was expecting everything under user-dir (directories and there
contents) would be retrieved.  As the -m option includes '-l inf' my
expectation was that it would traverse
www.foo.net/user-dir/dir0/...../dirN/

Suggestions?
