When a URL path component contains a space, is wget supposed to create a file with a space in it, or not?
Regardless of the answer to that question, I can't imagine how the following behavior could be correct: --04:40:07-- http://www.vieuxmac.com/DOWNLOAD/SYSTEM%20SOFTWARE/System%20Software%206.0.5/S6.0.5%20-%20F6.1.5%20-%20F.sit.bin => `System%20Software%206.0.5/S6.0.5 - F6.1.5 - F.sit.bin' Note that the URL contained both directories and files with spaces in them, and that it escaped all spaces as %20. Note that wget created *directories* with literal "%20" in them, but created *files* with literal spaces. Both can't be right. wget 1.8. Launched like so: wget -m -np -nH --cut-dirs=2 http://www.vieuxmac.com/DOWNLOAD/SYSTEM%20SOFTWARE/ -- Jamie Zawinski [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jwz.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.dnalounge.com/
