| | WGET 1.10.2 for Windows (win32) |
 | | One of the major problems in 1.8.2 was with the rfc1738 reserved and unsafe character standard, which wget tried to adhere to, not just for decoding URLs, but also for filenames on the local filesystem. |
 | | Examples were conversion of spaces to %20, which wouldn't be too bad, except for the fact that wget insists that % is an illegal character on Windows (which it is not), and converted all %s to @s (basically mangling filenames beyond repair). |
 | | Another worse example was the fact that wget is unaware that '?' is an illegal character in Windows, hence it crashed on URLs with query strings. |
