I wouldn't say its so much of a feature, but an automatic filename, and wget has not been given the chance to be clever, and save say the address of this file with all those %20 s' which are sposed to be spaces, and %3A s' which are colons i think, and also the ?s' as well, which are not automatically replaced by its alt code. Maybe it would be better to isolate the code in wget to automaticallychange it itself. The only thing is, I'm not a coder. I can do the odd thing, but I feel like I'd have to learn the whole language first which I dont want to do. I just want to know what the things I need are, and also how to use them, and what other essential things I'd have ot put in the script. I already spend hours poreing thru html & php, and VB C C++ but not perl yet.
