The culprit is most probably -O. You are downloading several
files: wget can't make one big html file out of that mess
(at least not without breaking anything). If you let go of
option -O, wget will create a directory hierarchy mirroring
the URL hierarchy, and -k will take care of fixing internal
links. At the "leaves" the links have to point outwards,
of course...
