WAG: that "*" at the end is opening multiple downloads at once?  What
happens if you try just one file at a time?  Also, get has a way to take a
list of files from a file (-i), which might work better here.  You could
probably make the list with something like "ls foo.* >myfile".  If not,
there's always something like "find . -name foo.* -exec wget {}".

I'm not sure about your use of -nd with --mirror.  It just seems that it
won't mirror as well that way.
