That strikes me as not quite right. If Wget sees http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G, and it's not redirected to http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/First-Look/iPhone3G/, then Wget will use a file name. What's more, if it later sees it with the slash, it will fail to create a directory at all, since the file already exists with that pathname. I'm not sure what you mean by "I want both". You can't possibly have a regular file named iPhone3G, and another file named iPhone3G/images/... it can't be both a file and a directory at once. If you specify the link with a trailing slash, then Wget will realize iPhone3G is a directory, and will store the file it finds there as iPhone3G/index.html. You're out of luck, though, if some links refer to it with, and some without, the trailing slash, with a server that doesn't redirect to the slash version (like Apache does). - -- Micah J.
