This information is currently in the bug submitting form at Savannah: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=additem&group=wget But should probably be duplicated at the website as well... let me know if the current text could use improvement. > Perhaps we need a --bug option for the command line that runs the > command and saves important information in a file that can be submitted > along with the bug report.

I think perhaps such things as the wget version and operating system ought to be emitted by default anyway (except when -q is given). Other than that, what kinds of things would --bug provide above and beyond --debug? - -- Micah J.
