Use `--restrict-file-names=nocontrol'. Have you looked at the documentation? > but still i get files with names like: > '%94%9A%98%85%8F%20%9A%98%82%89%8C%89%8D.doc' I'm not sure how the %20 slipped through, it shouldn't be encoded. Are you pasting the characters from the URL or from the file name? The URLs might use stricter quoting and are unaffected by --restrict-file-names. Note that the characters %80-%9F are considered control characters because they are below the ISO Latin * range and above ASCII. Unfortunately, Windows uses that range for its chars, which likely causes the breakage for you. Either way, --restrict-file-names=nocontrol should work for you.
