Only if you gave wget the -b option... otherwise logs are generated on screen. Just start another download (preferably from the same site) and look for something like: Script started on Wed Feb 7 17:37:36 2001 binand@jediland[~] wget ftp://ftp.cdrom.com --17:37:50-- ftp://ftp.cdrom.com:21/ => `.listing' Connecting to ftp.cdrom.com:21... connected!

If you have a TYPE A there, then you are in trouble. :-) IIRC, all Unix FTP clients look for remote system type (via the SYST command) and defaults to binary transfer if the remote system is detected as Unix. Some Windows FTP clients like Cute FTP also tries this, but I have no idea about wget's behaviour in Windows.
