Neither is truly correct, but "the files have no filenames" is reasonably close. 

Basically, if I feed http://www.foo.com/bar/ into KGet, it'll try to download 
http://www.foo.com/bar/index.html and, if my index file is named index.php, index.shtml, main.asp, or whatever.foo, it won't work.

Same problem if the URL isn't actually a file path. (For example, Ruby on Rails routes, Pylons routes, many mod_rewrite rules, and PATH_INFO tricks like http://www.foo.com/bar.php/queryID/)
