index.html is just the name wget gives to the filename after it has
downloaded it, as it can't very well call it '/'! If you run wget
with the -d option you will see the actual path requested from the
host.
That particular URL you mentioned http://www.fwbuilder.com/ really
doesn't have anything at the end of it, other than an error page, and
the contents of the error page that wget saves to index.html are
exactly the same as what MSIE on Windows NT receives.
