Ignore SYMbolic links.

Option I'd like to see in this product.

"Don't follow SYM links" grouped with the "Follow SYM links recursively"

I'm not sure I understand the logic behind this.

By unchecking the "follow symbolic links recursively" option this would imply that symbolic links are not followed.

And would give you the same result as a "Don't follow symbolic links" setting.

Re: Ignore SYMbolic links.

Don't follow sym links recursively != don't follow them at all.
For instance, if you decide to mirror ftp.scene.org, you will be downloading 1 file into multiple sources.
Currently, even if don't follow recursively != 1, files are downloaded as if it were a recursive virtual filesystem.
1 level deep is nice for some things "don't recurse, but get the redirected files (what it is now)"
0 levels deep is good for people like me who don't want duplication "ignore virtual links and recursion"
