Looks like all you have to do is this:

wget -np -r -l 2 'https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/linag3ger/'

This downloads 49 files, 3.7MB in total.

Basically you need -r to tell wget to download the link recursively. Then -l 2 to tell wget to not go deeper than 2 levels.

Thanks!, I have before to try with `-r` but without to tell wget, the deeper... I wish you a nice Day! – dsaj34v Feb 23 '20 at 11:55
Info for other people, what **man wget** to say about `-np`: **Do not ever ascend to the parent directory when retrieving recursively. This is a useful option, since it guarantees that only the files below a certain hierarchy will be downloaded.** – dsaj34v Feb 23 '20 at 12:19
Can Please someone tell me because to come **-1** ?, I think people which give **-1** , MUSS to say because give it! – dsaj34v Feb 23 '20 at 15:21

Some people might think it’s not ok to download the book when the website doesn’t provide a download option. That’s my guess. But I think it’s totally ok to download. – SparedWhisle Feb 23 '20 at 20:42
I to say it because of every time that I`ll ask a question, to come to a warning that to say that I have many **-1**..., too I think it is people give **-1** without reliable reason... – dsaj34v Feb 24 '20 at 10:02

You will have to tell wget a criterion what to download (anything below that folder?) and what not (all the rest of the Wiley website).

If you have a GUI available, a tool like "HTTrack Website Copier" may simplify that task.

**anything below that folder?**, how to understand, the folder is **linag3ger**... with **https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/** to come a empty Page.... – dsaj34v Feb 23 '20 at 10:13
By and large, the crawled URLs must be limited to start with `https://www.oreilly.de/german/freebooks/linag3ger/`. – BurninLeo Feb 26 '20 at 18:06
