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.
