-j, --jobs	Number of threads to use
-o, --output	Output directory where the downloaded files are written
-t, --tries	Number of times to retry when the downloading of a page fails
-u, --user-agent	User agent to be used for sending requests
-i, --include	Specify a regex to include pages that match this pattern
