This seems to be yet another encoding problem. I have no problem if I
change the '&' to '&'. IIRC URLs found in a HTML page should be HTML
decoded. A simple test (wget -F -i URL.html) shows that wget does this.
But I'm not sure wget should do it for URLs on the cmd line or in a
non-HTML file. In the past we had a lot of problems with wget being
overzealously {en|de}coding URLs.
$ wget
