Currently, I call this misuse not bug.
Wget could care for such cases, but right now it just doesn't.

He could make his test with something like this:
for i in `seq 20`; do
    mkdir $i
    wget -P $i -r http://www.makerwise.com/ &
done
To have an own directory for each Wget instance.

BTW, read() instead of mmap() would not help in this case.
