Thanks for your answer, Daniel. I mainly asked that because I though
that wget was able to get the real file names of the pages, even if it
were being redirected by DirectoryIndex.

Well, just downloaded it again to check it out and found out that I
was wrong, it just saves every "DirectoryIndex" page as index.html.
I'll do the same :)

Thanks
Leo
