Steven,
I`m not trying to blame wget, but rather understand what is going on
and perhaps how to correct it. I am using wget version 1.10.2 and Internet
Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows 98SE. However, when I renamed the file,
this problem did not occur. So, I think it was something to do with the
characters in the filename, which you mentioned.
Thanks, Alan
