Wget modified filenames, and users are unhappy. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=387745 http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?37564 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22010251/wget-unicode-filename-errors http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27054765/wget-japanese-characters http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/misc/wget.html etc. It is debatable what precisely would be the right thing, but my patch greatly increases the number of happy users. Further improvement is possible. For example, nothing was changed yet for Windows, but also Windows users complain about this wget escaping. Andries
