wget output question

wget 1.9

I can't seem to get wget to work the way I want it to. :(

What I'd like to do is have wget dowload a page, convert
the links, and save it to a filename that I specify.

For example, I thought this would do the job:

wget -k -O test.html http://www.google.com

This downloads the file and saves it as "test.html" but
it doesn't convert the links.

This command converts the links, but it doesn't allow
me to set the all important filename that I want:

wget -k http://www.google.com

Is this a bug in wget or was it designed to work that way?

Thank you!
