Ah. Right you are. Looks like a bug to me. Wget/1.10.2a1 (VMS Alpha V7.3-2) says this without "-O": 08:53:42 (51.00 MB/s) - `index.html' saved [2674] Converting index.html... 0-14 Converted 1 files in 0.232 seconds. and this with "-O": 08:54:06 (297.15 KB/s) - `test.html' saved [2674] test.html: file currently locked by another user [Sounds VMS-specific, yes?] Converting test.html... nothing to do. Converted 1 files in 0.039 seconds. The message from Wget 1.9.1a was less informative: 08:57:13 (297.11 KB/s) - `test.html' saved [2674] : no such file or directory Converting ... nothing to do. Converted 1 files in 0.00 seconds. Without looking at the code, I'd say that someone is calling the conversion code before closing the "-O" output file. As a user could specify multiple URLs with a single "-O" output file, it may be difficult to make this work in the same way it would without "-O", so a normal download followed by a quick rename (mv) might be your best hope, at least in the short term. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
