Public bug reported:

man page shows:

       -nd
       --no-directories
           Do not create a hierarchy of directories when retrieving 
recursively.  With this option turned on, all files will get saved
           to the current directory, without clobbering (if a name shows up 
more than once, the filenames will get extensions .n).


The way that's written implies that the -nd option would conflict with the -P 
option.  But when -nd is combined with --directory-prefix (-P), wget honors the 
prefix and also downloads to a flat non-hierarchical "structure".  The behavior 
is sensible but the docs are wrong (-nd does not necessarily download to the 
current dir).

** Affects: wget (Ubuntu)
