wget still saves filenames in a buggy way:

$ echo $LC_CTYPE
en_US.UTF8

$ wget -r -np http://jinix.sourceforge.net/go/sgf/01.诘棋总动员/育苗工程手筋300题/index.html
...
Total wall clock time: 42s
Downloaded: 301 files, 106K in 0.2s (427 KB/s)

$ ls jinix.sourceforge.net/go/sgf/01.诘棋总动员
ls: cannot access jinix.sourceforge.net/go/sgf/01.诘棋总动员: No such file or 
directory
$ ls jinix.sourceforge.net/go/sgf
01.??%98??%8B?%80??%8A??%91%98

The filename here is strange and messy. It cannot be typed
on this system: it is UTF-8 but in the middle of the UTF-8 characters
some bytes have been escaped as if they were high ISO-8859-1 bytes.
The result is valid in no character set.

The only thing one can do is

% rm -r jinix.sourceforge.net
% wget --restrict-file-names=nocontrol ...

throwing away this default wget output, finding the option wget needs
to do the right thing, and starting all over again.

$ ls jinix.sourceforge.net/go/sgf/01.诘棋总动员
育苗工程手筋300题

Now it works.
