Details:

When running wget -r -k -l 1
"http://econ.ucsb.edu/~tedb/Courses/GraduateTheoryUCSB/TheoryF16.html";, the
process successfully completes but a number of files are not downloaded and a
number of absolute link are not converted. For example, the file
"BlumeSimonCh21.pdf" is linked twice in the html source code, one as relative
and another as absolute path, both belonging to the same host. The latter
links to the actual website over the internet rather than linking to the local
file. Moreover, the file "Bernoulli.pdf" is not downloaded by wget despite
being in the same host directory. I tried adding `-H` to the wget command,
these problems still occur.

Some other notes: The manual says when `-r` is specified, wget downloads
simply overwrite the old file with the new one if they are the same file.
