On that page, there's a link to the top of the website.  Give wget
the -np switch:

Recursive accept/reject:
  -A,  --accept=LIST                comma-separated list of accepted extensions.
  -R,  --reject=LIST                comma-separated list of rejected extensions.
  -D,  --domains=LIST               comma-separated list of accepted domains.
       --exclude-domains=LIST       comma-separated list of rejected domains.
       --follow-ftp                 follow FTP links from HTML documents.
       --follow-tags=LIST           comma-separated list of followed HTML tags.
  -G,  --ignore-tags=LIST           comma-separated list of ignored HTML tags.
  -H,  --span-hosts                 go to foreign hosts when recursive.
  -L,  --relative                   follow relative links only.
  -I,  --include-directories=LIST   list of allowed directories.
  -X,  --exclude-directories=LIST   list of excluded directories.
  -nh, --no-host-lookup             don't DNS-lookup hosts.
  -np, --no-parent                  don't ascend to the parent directory.
