Thanks, Chaim. But that doesn't work either. I created a minimalist test case:

http://yong321.freeshell.org/temp/test.html

I ran wget -mr http://yong321.freeshell.org/temp/test.html and check the downloaded test.html file. It still has

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://yong321.freeshell.org/temp/stylesheettest.css";>

I don't think wget could be smart enough to modify the URL inside the html file.

You thought wrong. The wget man-page explains it:

       -k
       --convert-links
           After the download is complete, convert the links in the document to
           make them suitable for local viewing.  This affects not only the visi-
           ble hyperlinks, but any part of the document that links to external
           content, such as embedded images, links to style sheets, hyperlinks to
           non-HTML content, etc.

           Each link will be changed in one of the two ways:

           *   The links to files that have been downloaded by Wget will be
               changed to refer to the file they point to as a relative link.

               Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
               /bar/img.gif, also downloaded, then the link in doc.html will be
               modified to point to ../bar/img.gif.  This kind of transformation
               works reliably for arbitrary combinations of directories.

           *   The links to files that have not been downloaded by Wget will be
               changed to include host name and absolute path of the location
               they point to.

               Example: if the downloaded file /foo/doc.html links to
               /bar/img.gif (or to ../bar/img.gif), then the link in doc.html
               will be modified to point to http://hostname/bar/img.gif.

           Because of this, local browsing works reliably: if a linked file was
           downloaded, the link will refer to its local name; if it was not down-
           loaded, the link will refer to its full Internet address rather than
           presenting a broken link.  The fact that the former links are con-
           verted to relative links ensures that you can move the downloaded
           hierarchy to another directory.

           Note that only at the end of the download can Wget know which links
           have been downloaded.  Because of that, the work done by -k will be
           performed at the end of all the downloads.

There are some other options that might interest you.
