Re: %20 and spaces in a URL: msg#00074

Subject: Re: %20 and spaces in a URL
But I want WGET to convert %20 to space (I think).  I'm using 1.9.1.  I haven't 
checked to see if there is a new stable version.  I'm using the windows binary. 
I'd love to go linux, but the startup transient is too much.  (And the computer 
they furnish me at work is Windows)

I regularly use WGET to download a file that is referenced in my work, so that 
the file is just downloaded and not opened by my browser into its viewing 
application.  For large files the download seems to go much faster as well.

Thanks,

Fred Holmes
