There have been some reports in the past but I don't think it has been acted upon; one of the problems is that the list of names can be extended at will (beside the standard comx, lptx, con, prn). Maybe it is possible to query the os about the currently active device names and rename the output files if neccessary ? > I reproduced the bug with Win32 versions 1.5.dontremeber, > 1.10.1 and 1.10.2.

That is since the problem is generated by the dos/windows filesystem drivers (or whatever those should be called), basically com1* and so on are equivalent of unix device drivers, with the unfortunate difference of acting in every directory. > > Example URLs that reproduce the bug : > wget g/nul > wget http://www.gnu.org/nul > wget http://www.gnu.org/nul.html > wget -o loop.end "http://www.gnu.org/nul.html"; > > I know that the bug is associated with words which are > devices in the windows console, but i don't understand > why, since I tried to set the output file to something else. I think you meant to use -O, not -o. Doesn't solve the real problem but at least a workaround.
