This patch makes it Hrvoje> consistent, but I will not apply it before the 1.8.1 release: i did not look at the result of the patch, but does it result in ENCODING of all URL-unsafe characters when saving the file on the local filesystem? i think wget should ENCODE all unsafe characters when making a request to HTTP or FTP server, but wgen SHOULD NOT encode URL-unsafe characters when saving files on local filesystem, because they are not unsafe for the filesystem. Best, v.
