If you're grabbing a forum, this is good starter list of items to ignore:
export THINGS_TO_IGNORE="/cron\\.php\\?,/external\\.php\\?type=rss,/login\\.php\\?,/newreply\\.php\\?,/private\\.php\\?,/privmsg\\.php\\?,/register\\.php\\?,/sendmessage\\.php\\?,/subscription\\.php\\?,/posting\\.php\\?,/viewtopic\\.php\\?.+&view=(next|previous),/viewtopic\\.php\\?.+&hilit=,/feed\\.php\\?,/index\\.php\\?option=com_mailto,&view=login&return=,&format=opensearch,/misc\\.php\\?do=whoposted,/newthread\\.php\\?,/post_thanks\\.php\\?,/blog_post\\.php\\?do=newblog,/forumdisplay\\.php\\?do=markread,/userpoll/vote\\.php\\?,/showthread\\.php.*[\\?&]goto=(next(old|new)est|newpost),/editpost\\.php\\?,/\\?view=getlastpost$,/index\\.php\\?sharelink=,/ucp\\.php\\?mode=delete_cookies"

*** IMPORTANT: If you continue a grab that previously quit or stalled, change the name of the WARC, or it will be overwritten!
wpull "$DOMAIN_NAME_TO_SAVE" --warc-file "$WARC_NAME" --no-check-certificate --no-robots --save-headers --save-cookies "cookies.txt" --keep-session-cookies --user-agent "$USER_AGENT" --wait 1 --random-wait --waitretry 600 --page-requisites --recursive --level 20 --sitemaps --span-hosts --domains "$DOMAINS_TO_INCLUDE" --reject-regex "$THINGS_TO_IGNORE" --retry-connrefused --retry-dns-error --delete-after --database "$DB_NAME" --verbose --output-file "$LOG_NAME" --warc-max-size "1000000000" --phantomjs --phantomjs-scroll "25" --phantomjs-wait "3"
If you don't want to run with PhantomJS, which can be buggy and slows things down, remove these lines from the string:
--phantomjs --phantomjs-scroll "25" --phantomjs-wait "3"
