No. It doesn't work for me. I tried on both version 1.10 and 1.12.
None of them works for me.

Suppose I download the webpage at

http://xxx.com/yyy/zzz.html

, which has the following code <a
href="http://xxx.com/yyy/uuu/www.html> some </a>

The above link will not be converted automatically to <a
href="uuu/www.html> some </a>, if I only have --convert-links but no
other options.

If I use --mirror --no-parent --no-host-directories and
--convert-links, the url is converted correctly.
