Hi Tim,
I disagree. This is just a bug.
Nobody wants illegal filenames.
Even removing them is not entirely trivial since the filenames
produced by wget are not legal character sequences, so cannot be typed.
So, I think this should be fixed, for example with my one-liner fix,
but I am quite happy to do something more complicated if that is
what people prefer.
I am a Linux man, no Windows computers here. So, I am happy to do
stuff on Linux, but cannot test on Windows.
