[plug] Dumping invalid files ?

[navarre at plug.linux.org.au]

This may also work for those situations where one must interface with the 
M$ mentality for file names. Using the same example.


lynx http://www.idiots.com/Part\ one\[1\].zip

Note the back slashes. This seems to how bash copes with %20 characters. 
This approach also works when smb mounting a winblow box into my file 
system and manipulating space named files.

And personally I would use wget.
