Hmmm, this could be that you're not placed in the root directory. Older
wget expected to be placed in / and couldn't handle it when placed
somewhere else. This should be fixed in the current 1.7-dev version.
There has been some discussion here in the list about what is the right
thing to do and what wget should do with URL like:
ftp://ftp.somehost.com/path
ftp://ftp.somehost.com//path
ftp://ftp.somehost.com/%2Fpath
Try using wget version 1.6 or even better the current development
version (1.7-dev). Look at the web-site (http://sunsite.dk/wget/) for
instructions. There's also links to mail-archives of the list.
