Re: [Bug-wget] Issue with URL in Windows

[Ben Smith]

That did seem to fix the URL problem; however, it appears that the 
username/password isn't working right.  I'm trying to download from my TiVo.  
Is it really an authentication problem or is it something else? See pasted text 
below (I have deleted the password [MAK] to comply with legal issues). I've 
inserted line feeds between lines for reading purposes (and word wrap).

C:\Documents and Settings\smithben\My Documents\tivo_nontransfer>wget 
--user=tivo --password=########## --output-document="CFBL (Rec 08-Jun-09).tivo" 
"http://192.168.0.51/download/College%20Football%20Live.TiVo?Container=%2FNowPlaying&id=1650544&Format=video/x-tivo-mpeg";

SYSTEM_WGETRC = c:/progra~1/wget/etc/wgetrc

syswgetrc = C:\Program Files\GnuWin32/etc/wgetrc
