We would like to announce GNU Wget 1.19.4. This is a bug fix version that fixes a major bug with v1.19.3. With v1.19.3 Wget would request the origin server for a gzip compressed document. However, due to a logic bug, it would never decompress it for the user. This caused almost all downloads to break.
As it turns out, implementing gzip support is not trivial; especially in the face of many buggy servers that we have to support. Hence, for the time being, connection compression support has been marked as experimental and disabled by default. ============================================================================== Here are the compressed sources and a GPG detached signature[*]: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig Use a mirror for higher download bandwidth: https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/wget/wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig Here are the MD5 and SHA1 checksums: e044d97067298662a277986b58a42211 wget-1.19.4.tar.gz cace624a5edc6168557d9507903cb794111aa9d4 wget-1.19.4.tar.gz [*] Use a .sig file to verify that the corresponding file (without the .sig suffix) is intact. First, be sure to download both the .sig file and the corresponding tarball. Then, run a command like this: gpg --verify wget-1.19.4.tar.gz.sig If that command fails because you don't have the required public key, then run this command to import it: gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 2A1743EDA91A35B6 and rerun the 'gpg --verify' command.
