It wouldn't break on windoze because file.html still exists. He just
wants a different naming schema for the newer copies. There would be no
links to file.html.1 or file 1.html for that matter, so it really
doesn't matter which way you rename it.
Although if there is a file called file 1.html and you downloaded it
again, using your NEW schema, it would become file 11.html, which
would be somewhat confusing :)

Subject: Re: file numbering bug
From: Robert Dick
When serializing sucessive copies of a page, the serial number appears
at the end of the extension, i.e, what should be file1.html is called
file.html.1 I'm using wget ver. 1.10.2. with the default options on
Windows ME ...
I can see how that might annoy a Windows user, but it would probably
be a terrible idea to change the file name as you suggest, because it
would break any HTML links to file.html which might appear in any
other file.
If you don't like the .nnn suffix, then you'll need to clean it up
later, or else don't download the same file twice into the same
directory. (Or you could use VMS, where file version numbers are a
natural part of the file system, so the .nnn suffix is not needed, and
this problem does not arise.)
