"Get non-HTML files related to a link" bug
Hello,
There is a problem with this option.
Indeed, if you try to download a website with a link to a dropbox file, WinHTTrack will try to download the whole dropbox.com website... the same problem arise with en.wikipedia.org.
Super easy way to reproduce the bug: put this page online (or try to capture http://www.crealya.fr/winhttrack/) and try to capture it with the "Get non-HTML files related to a link" option enabled.

The only thing thats reliable is to execlude everything and include the domains that you want to mirror: -* +*domaintomirror.tld*
@gj12 Unfortunately, you don't know before doing the capture if the site you are capturing contains like to "buggy" website like the dropbox.com, wikipedia.com, ... there has to be a bug in WinHTTrack because it should not do that.
