Hum, this is unfortunately the typical case where httrack 
is a bit confused: most html files do not have any type 
(instead of 'www.example.com/foo.html', you just have 
'www.example.com/foo') and because httrack has to "know" 
the filetype *before* naming it (because of a questionnable 
design choice :p), it spends a lots of time testing each 
link.
There isn't any real solution to speedup the process - 
these cases are rares, but quite annoying for httrack.

I'll rewrite the heap download routines one day, with a 
post-download naming system. This should speedup the whole 
thing (but this will require some hard and rough coding)
