wget saves the accented "i" in the filaname as the 8-bit utf-8 characters C3 and AD (unescaped), which results in garble since windows file system is not utf-8 based.

so either some form of character conversion needs to take place (from utf-8 to filesystem), or wget should save the filename percent-escaped.

VÃ-­ctor_Jara (today)
V%C3%ADctor_Jara (escaped)
Víctor_Jara (converted)

Wget saves exactly the characters it finds in the URL.  If the URL
contains the sequence (presumably UTF-8) %C3%AD, that is what Wget
will write to the file name.

What characters did you expect to find in local file names?
