Sorry, it seems the site was down; I've restored it, and am copying to
the mailing-list.

As far as I'm aware, Wget doesn't have problems with spaces or plusses
(it doesn't do anything in particular with them, or treat them as
special); so I can't really help figure out what's not working for you
without more details on exactly what you're attempting, and how. The
version of Wget you're running (wget --version) will also be helpful,
and you should also try adding the --debug flag with your command, to
see if Wget will tell you more information about what might be going wrong.
