Follow-up Comment #3, bug #47701 (project wget): I tried adding the --local-encoding=UTF-8 command-line option as suggested by Eli, (Thanks, Eli!) but that also didn't quite work 100% for me.
Instead of simply failing to download anything, as before, now it makes a good attempt at downloading the requested directory, but (presumably because f'ing losedows doesn't use UTF-8 internally) it not only still encodes it wrong, it encodes it wrong _differently._ In this case it encodes as a capital A with tilde followed by the pilcrow, which would be C3 B6 in Latin-1 or Windows Codepage 1252. Don't get me wrong, it does actually download the files, they're just encoded wrong on my hard drive now. When I run wget with debug on, it throws a lot of stuff at me I don't understand, but it might be useful to you so I'll include it here. It displays it in 'cmd' in _a-whole-nother_ encoding, as two box-drawing characters in DOS Codepage 437! (AAARGH! DIE, MICROSOFT, DIE!) Due to one or more of these encoding issues, wget *seems* to decide not to get some of the stuff I asked it to: Deciding whether to enqueue "https://leoandpeto.com/icons/blank.gif";. Going to "icons" would escape "Music/Peto/Non/o-z/R├╢yksopp - The Understanding" with no_parent on. Decided NOT to load it. Deciding whether to enqueue "https://leoandpeto.com/Music/Peto/Non/o-z/R%C3%B6yksopp%20-%20The%20Understanding/?C=N;O=A";. Already on the black list. Decided NOT to load it. Deciding whether to enqueue "https://leoandpeto.com/Music/Peto/Non/o-z/R%C3%B6yksopp%20-%20The%20Understanding/?C=M;O=A";. Already on the black list. Decided NOT to load it. and something seems to make windows-sockets/winsock output lots of stuff, too. This might be normal for debug mode though. 200 OK Length: 5409000 (5.2M) [audio/mpeg] Saving to: 'R303266yksopp - The Understanding/01 Triumphant.mp3' R├╢yksopp - The Understanding/01 Triumphant. 0%[ ] 0 --.-KB/s seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 R├╢yksopp - The Understanding/01 Triumphant. 0%[ ] 24.00K 113KB/s seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 R├╢yksopp - The Understanding/01 Triumphant. 1%[ ] 56.00K 119KB/s seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 R├╢yksopp - The Understanding/01 Triumphant. 1%[> ] 104.00K 152KB/s seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 seconds 900.00, Winsock error: 0 [.......] > thanks anonymous for the detailed bug report.
