wget - download external images

Question

I'm using wget -A to download images from a page.
This works fine, when images are hosted on the same domain as the page.
But this won't download images hotlinked from other pages (e.g. imageshack)

How can I download the external images as well using wget or similar tool?

Solution

You need the -H (resp. --span-hosts) parameter. It enables downloading of linked resources that are hosted at different hosts/domains.

In addition you may block specific domains with --exclude-domains (Example: --exclude-domains=example.com,example.org)

The first sentence solves the problem as per the post, in my opinion. Someone should mark this answer as correct.
