    Hello, I would like to report the following bug.

    I have problems downloading pages that contain non-ASCII characters in the
    link.

    For example the wikipedia article for Jörg Breu:

    wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6rg_Breu

    I get the error: "ERROR 404: Not found"

    I am using wget 1.11.4

    Can you fix this bug please?

    thanks

    I'm sorry I'ts not because of wget, it's because of Windows.

    I just had to double the "%" character:

    wget http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%%C3%%B6rg_Breu
