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.
