Was trying to use vwget on a google images page. I can click the
images and go to the source pages no problem. But when I use vwget, I
see a 403 error right at beginning and vwget stops. Saw somebody
suggest using a browser emulation feature "-U" option with wget but
couldn't find a way to set this option in vwget. Is this a feature I
didn't find, or something to request? Any other suggestions on how to
circumvent this error/problem? Thanks.

Please try the --user-agent option of Wget. When create a new job with
VisualWget, select Advanced, select HTTP, select --user-agent and
enter something like "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:
1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092416 Firefox/3.0.3".
