Re: [Bug-wget] errors attempting to use options

[Tim Rühsen]

Lol... I copied and pasted your example and could immediately reproduce the

your '--' is not ASCII double-minus but some kind of UTF-8 encoded characters 
that look the same.

Remove all minuses and type them again. That should do it.

Regards, Tim
