This happens because write_data() (in "src/retr.c") does nothing to
adjust the FTP-standard CR-LF line endings according to the local
standard (in this case, LF-only), which a proper FTP client should do.
A fix for this was included among my recent (well, not _very_ recent
now) VMS-related patch submissions, but it would probably be a mistake
to hold your breath waiting for those changes to be incorporated into
the main code stream.
If you're desperate to see what I did to fix this, you could visit:
http://antinode.org/ftp/wget/patch1/
ftp://antinode.org/wget/patch1/
A quick search for the (new) enum value "rb_ftp_ascii" suggests that the
relevant changes are in "ftp.c", "retr.c", and "retr.h".
Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions about what you
find there. (The new code does make one potentially risky assumption,
but it's explained in the comments.)
