Follow-up Comment #3, bug #54126 (project wget): I was running into this bug myself and spent a bit of time wondering why wget kept crashing. So I played around with it until I narrowed down the issue to the progress bar, just to then find this bug report.
I can reproduce this issue every time the filename has to scroll and the download takes long enough for the text to go out of bounds at least once, which happens to be a really common occurrence. Hope this patch is merged soon as it is pretty annoying. This batch file should reproduce the crash every time: @echo off set file=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa :test wget http://www.ovh.net/files/100Mio.dat -O %file% if %errorlevel% == 0 ( rem Fluke. Try again. goto test ) else ( echo Wget failed with status: 0x%=exitcode% ) del %file% pause >nul _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54126> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
