No, what you see is the result of two different things: 1. Wget uses "index.html" as the file name when one is missing from the URL because it ends with an empty path component. 2. Wget 1.9.1 (and previous versions) doesn't correctly display Winsock error messages, such as "connection refused". The error message you're seeing doesn't reflect what really happened. In this case, only issue #2 is a real bug. It has been fixed in the CVS version, which is unfortunately not yet available as a Windows binary.
