Yes. wget 1.11? It's not even funny. I understand author took last GnuWin32 release, but amount of changes in wget related to many things (including adequate https support) since 2008 is too big.

Moreover, using cross-platform Unicode-aware tools in (still not really Unicode-aware) cmd.exe will blow up sooner than later on “funny” filenames. As others said, you need proper shell and terminal.

Honestly, I'd recommend anyone to just install native GNU/Linux operating system. Getting the awesome, absolutely amazing coretuils to work on Windows seems like swimming upstream.

Windows is pretty ok for my gaming box. Nice to also be able to sling some code with it.
