   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.
