vwget is not actively maintained.

Please use english name for now.

Sorry about that.

Hello!

When downloading files with Russian names I get in their name funky characters. Can I fix it somehow?

Sorry for my English, I am from Ukraine.

Just want to inform you that I have created a quick patch for VisualWget 2.4.105 that handles non-Latin file names correctly. It just renames such file at the end of the download.
This is just a quick patch, however, so there is one undesired feature that I could not solve: if you restart the download that results a non-Latin file name, this file will retrieved from scratch again because the file name reported by WGet (that actually represents an UTF-8 bytes sequence) does not match the saved non-Latin file name.
The patch is based on the sources of vwget-2.4-src.zip from https://sites.google.com/site/visualwget/a-download-manager-gui-based-on-wget-for-windows
Please find the updated file - including the two updated source files - attached.

Hi!

Problem with Cyrillic names still relevant :-( http://i.imgur.com/oPkj0lz.png

To make this renaming possible, you should specify the WGet's option "--restrict-file-names=nocontrol".

Виталий,

подскажите, пожалуйста, где нужно прописывать ключ "--restrict-file-names=nocontrol" ?

Please find the answer and all the further information in this topic: "VisualWGet 2.4 + quick patch for non-Latin characters" (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/visualwget-discuss/YKXUgfsvPgc)
Also I'll upload the updated version there soon: it will include additional verification for a valid UTF-8 byte sequence in the file name to avoid incorrect renaming as in your example.

[EGO]

Thanks! It's works for me.
