It works in the browser:
http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/Mineraly/Ftp/UpLoad/
The is no index.html and the content of the directory is displayed.

In mirror mineraly.feedle.com it is different as you can see.

No, they are not! In the original it is:
http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/Mineraly/Ftp/UpLoad/
and in the mirror
http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/Mineraly/Ftp/UpLoad/index.html
The link was not converted properly, it should be:
http://mineraly.feedle.com/Ftp/UpLoad/
and it should be without any index.html, because there is none in the 
original.

Hrvoje mentioned that it works correctly under the newest Wget version 
though. So perhaps it is just a fault of a bug in older version.

It displays!
That is the address of the image in the source:
http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/ChemFan/Gify/ChemFan.gif
(source page is: http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/Mineraly/ )

and that is in the mirror:
http://znik.wbc.lublin.pl/Mineraly/Gify/ChemFan.gif

while it rather should be
http://mineraly.feedle.com/Gify/ChemFan.gif

Hope you see it now. That is however in 1.8.1 version.
