This is what I have.

http://www.example.com/source/one/index-a.html
http://www.example.com/source/two/index-8.html
http://www.example.com/source/three/index-4.html
...


This is what result I need:
http://www.example.com/source/one/
http://www.example.com/source/two/
http://www.example.com/source/three/
...

Thank You in advance :)

You have two choices here:

1. Manually delete these index files after the download completes - select the downloaded Project, click Find Contents and type index in the Only For Files field. Click Find. Then click in the found files list and press Ctrl+A to select them all. Click the Delete button.

2. Automatically delete such files during download - add a line in the Project's URLs field:

DeleteAfterParsing=index*.html

These files will be downloaded, processed to extract links and deleted after that.

I think there is another way - without downloading html files.
I managed to get the part of structure by suspending downloading and copying all folder names from queue.
But it's very timewaisting and slow process... because I'm extracting huge site

Sorry, the above ways are the simpliest ones. There is no special feature to just create folders.
