There already has been a discussion about that (starting here: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-wget/2017-11/msg00000.html).
Looks like we didn't fix it correctly. Currently, to disable gzip compression at all: add compression = none to ~/.wgetrc and/or /etc/wgetrc. We'll fix it the next days and make up a new release then. Interestingly, the change was introduced on 25th of July - and there was no complaint until 1st of November. I guess we have a very limited base of testers :-( With Best Regards, Tim On 11/20/2017 03:38 PM, [email protected] wrote: >> Maybe depends on version of wget?
