We have been using wget for a few years now to suck a spreadsheet from one
server to another with the command below:

/usr/bin/wget --http-user Usert --http-passwd X "http://srv.xyz.com/THE
SPREADSHEET.xls" 

This duly provided us a copy of the spreadsheet. However we now get a
translation of the file name so that the output filename has been URL
translated to the following:

THE%20SPREADSHEET.xls

which has broken a whole mound of other things. 

I can't see a switch to alter the behaviour, and whilst I can see the logic
behind the change I would prefer a degree of backward compatibility.
