Follow-up Comment #1, bug #49439 (project wget): There might be files with the same name as the directory.
E.g. somewhere in HTML there is http://www.iana.org/assignments/perm-mcast-groupids/index.html and http://www.iana.org/assignments/perm-mcast-groupids After downloading the first URL, you have a directory www.iana.org/assignments/perm-mcast-groupids Then downloading the second URL results in such an error. But wget should handle this situation, AFAIR there is a test provoking this situation (just can't find it). The background is that a web server's file names not necessarily represent a file system (e.g. maybe the server looks up the files in a database), while wget uses the filesystem as storage. Sometimes there is no 1:1 mapping. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?49439> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
