wget pulling down files not expected

[sr320]

With the following code

/opt/homebrew/bin/wget \
-r \
--no-check-certificate \
--no-directories --no-parent \
-P ../data_21/ \
-R index* \
-A *.cov.txt, *x.bedgraph \
https://gannet.fish.washington.edu/seashell/bu-mox/scrubbed/061421-olyC/

Why would I get Non_CpG_context_combined_bismark_bt2.deduplicated.txt pulled down?

You need to quote your accept list argument, as well as remove the space between the patterns in the list, like so:

/opt/homebrew/bin/wget \
-r \
--no-check-certificate \
--no-directories --no-parent \
-P ../data_21/ \
-R index* \
-A "*.cov.txt,*x.bedgraph" \
https://gannet.fish.washington.edu/seashell/bu-mox/scrubbed/061421-olyC/

Also, just a heads up, you have no files in that directory ending in *.cov.txt
