Package: wget
Version: 1.10.2-2
Severity: important

wget has problems decoding url-encoded filenames, if their original name is
encoded in unicode (or at least has chinese characters in it).
I started wget as
wget -i filename
and filename included more then 200 urls where each filename included a
chinese character. In the end only 1/3 of the downloaded files where saved
with the proper filename, the rest ended up looking like
�8A%9B-order.gif
where the url-encoded filename looked like
%E5%8A%9B-order.gif
and should've been saved as
力-order.gif
Hence wget is unusable for this case.
