Hey guys, Strangely i didn't get the usual emails from SourceForge until a day or two ago to notify me replies had been posted. Not sure what happened there... but sh1t happens i guess. Anyhoo, thanks for compiling new versions raysatiro. I wonder when the dev team are going to post some new builds themselves. I expect many users would prefer to download from them directly if possible. Did they accept you on the dev team yet raysatiro? Yeah, i am aware that even reporting this relatively minor issue would tend to make me look a little paranoid, but that's not really the case. This particular project has a history of ignoring security issues, so i just keep posting them in the forums/bugs. I reported an "important" security flaw last year which had remained unpatched for 3 whole years: [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2162975&group_id=2361 7&atid=379173][1] You have got to admit that 3 years is pretty woeful. If anyone has contacts on the dev team, do us all a favor and light a fire under their @ss about their current security posture. I don't mean to be rude or anything, especially as it costs end users nothing to use - being open source and all, but yeah... improvements are needed. Anyway, at the end of the day Wget still rules, and i appreciate the hard work of everyone who has contributed to this project.
