I know that people sometimes use things like wget against portions of the docs on OTN. However, when I've tried to do this I end up downloading hundreds of copies of the "please login to OTN" page. I've tried all combinations of the wget options to supply ID and password, even told it to load my Netscape cookie file, but no luck.

Is there some magical incantation that works the best? (Perhaps using 'curl' or something besides wget?)
