Yea, this is crazy.

Some files have been downloaded several times, same page now has
NAME-1.html.tmp and NAME-2.html.tmp and NAME-3.html.tmp and NAME-4.html.tmp
ROUND AND ROUND WE GO!

But some of the ones that have the "-1" and "-2" still don't have a finished
.html file! If it's downloaded it that many times, why not create a html file
and mark it as done?
How many more passes does it need? Poor guy with the server is getting a BIG
bandwidth bill this month!

And the .tmp files are some sort of special format so you can't just "rename"
them like people have said so after all that downloading those files are
basically worthless without some sort of cleanup run. WTF?
Nothing in the docs about this, why not? Tell us what it is doing please. Give
us some format info on those files so we could write a perl clean up script if
needed.

And have a option for it to finish up and clean up if we say it is done.

Using httrack on Ubuntu from the Ubuntu archive. Command line.

I like the program and it seems to work better than wget -rkpN but I don't
know why this is even a problem for something that is this good of a program.
