Hi Bernard,

I guess that your file system does not like ? within file names.
Try around with the --restrict-file-names option, maybe one of those modes 
helps you. 

If you just want to download a single file, you can use -q -Omyfilename.

The server  might support Content-Disposition HTTP headers. So you could also 
play around with --content-disposition.
