Windows does not allow "~" in filenames.

I can understand why a "~" would be converted to "_" 
when the URL containing it is mirrored, but that is 
not what I am doing.

A link in a page such as:

<a href=http://members.tripod.com/~AusBoy/external 
site</a>

works fine and HTTrack does not modify it. But this 
link:

<a 
href=http://members.tripod.com/~AusBoy/AussieSKA.gif
external site image</a>

is converted to:

<a href="../_AusBoy/AussieSKA.gif">external site 
image</a>

So now the link is incorrect as it is not external and 
also there is no directory ../_AusBoy/ and no image!
