(sorry for not replying earlier; my isp moved my site,
made mails bounce to and forth - and i was away on
holidays. :)
anyway, thanks for your replies; the problem is
yet unsolved it seems.
as far as i can tell, one would have to change/rebuild
wget so that all those illegal characters are translated
to something else (ie underscores) before the files are
written to disk.
if someone did that, i would appreciate it _very_ much.
maybe this should be considered for the next release?
thank you for your time and help,
gimi
