A quick scan of it shows that many of the bugs are related to wget version 1.5.3 (which is the debian stable package), note that it is quite old and that many small quirks have been fixed since then.

IIRC this is a known bug, but nobody has been annoyed enough to provide a fix.

That is the official site (and has always been since wget got a web-site): http://wget.sunsite.dk/ or http://sunsite.dk/wget (previously known as http://sunsite.auc.dk/wget but AUC (Aalborg Universitets Center) has changed name (they didn't want to be just a "center" but a real university) and dropped the auc.dk domain Take a look at the developement page for instructions to access to the CVS sources: http://wget.sunsite.dk/wgetdev.html > > Thanks for a great program.
