Yes this is the '?' in the URL. There can be two problems here depending
on which shell you use. First your shell may not send the '?' to wget
but directly complain that it cannot expand the globbing character '?'
to a filename, I cannot tell if this is the case as you did not include
full output of running the wget command.

Second, wget will save the first retrieved page as
'galleries.php?mode=2' which is an illegal filename on Windows file
systems (because of the '?') again I cannot tell if this is the case.
There are a couple of patches to workaround this in the wget archives
(http://sunsite.dk/wget/) but none has been accept by the Wget
mantainers (too Windows specific), nor has the Cygwin mantainer used it
in the cygwin version.

In the future consider including full debug output when reporting a
problem `wget -d ...`

Chuck, is there any extra functionality in cygwin-1.3.3 or is this just
a resource problem (limited time) ?
In the second case should I take over mantainership for cygwin wget (a
version 1.7.1 is expected any time now) ?
