But it started downloading all files starting from www.gentoo.org and
the
CWD contains the same!
I have also searched the wget manual, but '-r' is not behaving as it
should.
(Am I missing anything?)

look at --no-parent option, that should help you.

  So finally I used,

  wget -p -r -np http://gentoo.org/doc/en

  * -p: also download any images,.. linked from the pages downloaded
  * -r: recurse - default depth is 5
  * -np: Download from the directory given, no parent files

  Well, consider this scenario.  I have downloaded files using the default
  depth (5). Now I wish to download from mutually exclusively levels, say
  6-8.  How to do that?
