[Bug-wget] GNU wget 1.16.1 released

[Giuseppe Scrivano]

Hello,

I am pleased to announce the new version of GNU wget.

It is available for download here:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.1.tar.xz

and the GPG detached signatures using the key E163E1EA:

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.1.tar.gz.sig
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/wget/wget-1.16.1.tar.xz.sig

To reduce load on the main server, you can use this redirector service
which automatically redirects you to a mirror:

work they have done!
