Hello wget developers, As a long time satisfied user of wget on various platforms I tried out the announced new betas (on a Linux system). As one test I downloaded the new beta2 of today with the just compiled beta1 with the following results:
wget.18 ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/.betas/wget-1.8-beta2.tar.gz --08:47:50-- ftp://gnjilux.srk.fer.hr/pub/unix/util/wget/.betas/wget-1.8-beta2.tar.gz => `wget-1.8-beta2.tar.gz/.listing' Resolving gnjilux.srk.fer.hr... done.

This file was deleted but the directory stayed there, so that the file itself was saved under a new name. Moreover, if the file already existed under the correct name, it was silently deleted in the process and replaced by that directory. This behaviour is still present in the second beta. Best regards and thank you once more for this really useful utility, Jochen Roderburg ZAIK/RRZK University of Cologne Robert-Koch-Str. 10 Tel.: +49-221/478-7024 D-50931 Koeln E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Germany
