Re: cannot exclude specific subdirectory with -P

Hi,

The option -P does not need the trailing /*

Using -P Downloads is sufficient.

If you want to be more selective about which Downloads directories are
excluded then include more information before Downloads e.g.

-R /
-P home/foo/Downloads
-P home/bar/Downloads
