Re: Report a bug url cut

[Darshit Shah]

Hi Jorge,

That is not a bug in Wget. The "&" character in your command is 
interpreted by the shell you are using to mean 'background this command'.

Wget doesn't get to see the whole URL you typed. You need to double 
quote the entire URL so that the shell does not interpret any special 
characters.

Use:

wget "http://18chan.ml/showthread.php?tid=53&pid=949&_lbGate=863515";

Note-to-self: Add this as a FAQ. It indeed is asked too often.
