i have downloaded and compiled 1.9.1 (which seems to be the latest)

'--restrict-file-names=windows'

for short: I do not want wget to escape any char for me !!!
   

Use `--restrict-file-names=nocontrol'.  Have you looked at the
documentation?
 

i did 'wget --restrict-file-names=help' and got the options 'unix' and 
'windows' only.

and yes, thanks, `--restrict-file-names=nocontrol' solved the problem

thanks again
erez.
 

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.
