Re: wget -k downloading to shares fails with seemingly spurious "permission denied" error

No, I can reproduce it using an XP client and a remote directory on my
2K8 domain controller.  Examining the strace output from wget, you can
see that wget tries to delete the file while still having a file mapping
open.  That's the problem.  Windows doesn't allow to delete remote files
with an open file mapping.  I don't know any way around that.

In theory, wget would have to be fixed to not do that on Cygwin.
