The problem isn't that newlines are substituted. Newlines and carriage
returns are simply not safe within FTP file names.

However, how did the newline get there in the first place? The real file
name itself doesn't have a newline in it. The logs clearly show that
Wget was passed a URL with a carriage return (not newline) in it. This
strongly indicates that the shell you were using passed it that way to
Wget. Probably, the shell was given "\r\n" when you hit <Enter> to end
your command, and stripped away the \n but left the \r, which it passed
to Wget.

The bug you are encountering is in your Cygwin+shell environment; you'll
have to look to there. The only deficiency I'm seeing on Wget's part
from these logs, is that it's calling \015 a "newline character", when
in fact the newline character is \012; it should say "line-ending
character" or some such.
