- `--page-requisites`: get all the elements that compose the page (images,
CSS and so on).
- `--html-extension`: save files with the .html extension.
- `--convert-links`: convert links so that they work locally, off-line.
- `--restrict-file-names=windows`: modify filenames so that they will work
in Windows as well.
- `--no-clobber`: don't overwrite any existing files (used in case the
download is interrupted and resumed).
