    I agree, but for ftp you only have the depth of the filesystem structure
    to consider. This is useful, for example, when mirroring a site. I use
    it this way regularly and with a careful look at the amount to be
    downloaded it works well.

    With http you most certainly would want the "-l" option to prevent an
    enourmous tree spanning (potentially) the entire internet since
    recursion on a web page would follow ALL links.
